TO   OUR  PATRONS: 

AVe  take  pleasure  in  presenting  the  trade  with  our  1889  Price  List 
herewith  and  trust  it  will  be  found  entirely  satisfactory. 

No  changes  to  speak  of  have  been  made  in  the  prices  of  goods  here- 
tofore qvioted.  A  few  more  sizes  of  wheels  have  been  added  this  year, 
also  a  new  axle  and  wheel  which  are  mentioned  more  particularly  below. 
We  never  felt  better  prepared  to  serve  our  customers  in  every  department 
of  our  business  than  at  present. 

It  will  be  our  constant  and  utmost  endeavor  in  the  future,  as  in  the 
past,  to  give  our  customers  perfect  satisfaction ;  and  the  added  improve- 
ments which  the  experience  of  nearly  forty-five  years  in  the  business  has 
suggested,  give  us  faith  to  believe  that  our  success  in  so  doing  is  beyond 
experiment. 

We  have  now  on  hand  a  very  large  stock  of  seasoned  second  growth 
Hickory  and  White  Oak,  and  with  the  best  modern  machinery  and  long 
experience  in  the  business  feel  that  we  are  enabled  to  furnish  the  best 
ivheels  made  for  the  prices  charged.  We  challenge  a  comparison,  at  equal 
cost,  with  any  and  all  other  makes  of  wheels,  for  style,  durability  and 
strength. 

We  desire  to  call  particular  attention  to  our  light  wheels.  They  are 
all  made  of  pure  second  growth  Hickory  spokes  and  rims  and  Elm  hubs, 
carefully  seasoned  and  put  together,  nicely  finished  and  the  prices  for 
them  will  be  found  very  reasonable. 

It  seems  hardly  necessary  for  us  to  especially  notice  our  unpatented 
styles  of  Wheels,  which  include  English,  and  Common  styles,  they  being 
so  thoroughly  well  known  already.  A  steadily  increasing  trade  from  1845 
down  to  the  present  time  attests  the  care  we  take  with  them,  and  their 
consequent  value.  It  is  our  intention,  and  will  be  our  constant  endeavor 
in  the  future,  to  excel  in  these  lines  of  work.  We  make  but  two  qualities 
("Extra"  and  "No.  1")  of  Wheels  having  Sharp  Edged  (English  Style) 
Spokes.  Of  the  usual  styles  Wood  Hub  Wheels,  we  make  four  qualities, 
viz :  Extra,  No.  1,  No.  2,  and  No.  3. 

We  have  very  desirable  Spoke  Patterns,  etc.,  for  light  wheels  for  road 
wagons  and  other  light  driving  vehicles.  We  ask  a  special  trial  for  these, 
believing  them  to  be  the  most  stylish  and  durable  wheels  of  the  kind  made. 


NEW  HAVEN  WHEEL  COMPANY. 


We  make  four  grades  of  the  light  sizes  of  the  genuine  "Sarven" 
Wheel,  designated  A,  B,  C  and  D  respectively. 

We  shall  continue  to  pay  special  attention  to  the  first  class  (A)  Sarven 
Wheel,  which  has  been  adjudged  by  the  public,  after  more  than  thirty 
years'  use,  the  best  patent  wheel  made.  The  lower  grades  are  made 
in  order  to  supply  the  constant  demand  for  good  durable  wheels  at  mod- 
erate prices.     As  such  we  confidently  recommend  them. 

We  also  make  four  qualities  of  the  Warner  Patent  Wheel,  designated 
XXXX,  XXX,  XX  and  X  respectively.  This  wheel  has  now  been  before 
the  trade  for  some  twenty  years,  and  has  been  accepted  and  approved  on 
its  merits.  It  is  a  favorite  wheel,  very  reliable,  and  its  use  is  quite  widely 
extended. 

Of  the  Kenney  Patent  Banded  Hub  Wheels  we  also  make  four  qualities 
of  the  light  sizes,  designated  XXXX,  XXX,  XX  and  X  respectively.  This 
excellent  wheel  has  been  thoroughly  tried,  is  very  popular  and  continues 
to  grow  in  public  favor. 

During  the  jjast  four  years  we  have  manufactured  the  wheels  sold  by 
the  American  Axle  and  Wheel  Company  of  New  York,  and  through  this 
experience  have  carefully  observed  the  growth  and  character  of  their  trade. 
The  great  merit  both  in  their  axle  and  wheel,  as  well  as  theu-  superior 
lubricating  device,  have  led  us  to  arrange  with  that  company  to  offer  their 
goods  to  our  trade,  which  we  do  in  this  issue.  They  make  but  one  grade 
of  these  goods,  and  that  strictly  the  best. 

For  the  purpose  of  meeting  a  demand  both  at  home  and  abroad,  and 
especially  in  those  places  where  properly  skilled  labor,  pertaining  to  this 
branch  of  business,  is  not  readily  attainable,  we  some  years  ago  added  to 
our  wheel  business  the  tiring,  boxing  and  banding  of  wheels ;  also  the 
furnishing  of  axles.  Our  customers  are  thereby  enabled  to  procure  their 
wheels  simply  finished  in  the  wood,  or  to  procure  them  tired,  or  tired, 
banded  and  boxed,  and  with  any  usual  style  or  make  of  axles  they  desire. 
This  department  is  gieatly  appreciated  by  many  of  our  customers,  who  use 
it  frequently  and  find  it  of  great  convenience  and  advantage. 

We  ask  a  fair  trial  for  al!  our  work.  Thanking  our  many  friends  and 
customers  for  generous  favors  in  the  past  and  trusting  to  receive  and 
merit  such  in  the  future,  we  remain,  with  great  respect.

NEW  HAVEN  WHEEL  C03IPANY. 


B — Is  the  square  bed  of  axle,  conforming  in  shape  and  size  to  the  common 
axle. 

A — Is  the  neck,  its  diameter  equal  to  the  cornerwise  thickness  of  the  bed. 

O — Is  the  arm  or  bearing ;  its  diameter  being  considerably  greater  than  the  neck. 

C— Is  collar  or  sand  band,  of  malleable  iron,  forced  upon  the  neck.  Enter- 
ing between  back  end  of  hub  and  box,  as  shown,  it  helps  to  form  the 
annular  recesses  "31  and  N"  to  fill  with  spent  grease  and  exclude 
sand,  grit,  etc. 

J) — Is  axle  box  of  best  quality  gray  iron.  It  is  without  taper  inside  and 
outside  and  is  forced  into  the  malleable  iron  hub.  This  box  has  a 
flange  "  e"  cast  solid  inside  near  its  front  end  and  the  leather  washers 
'■/  andg"  on  either  side  cushion  the  end  of  the  axle  arm  and  the 
flange   "  d"  of  the  nut  in  either  direction. 

H — Is  axle  nut  of  malleable  iron,  hollow  as  shown,  and  screwed  into  the 
hollow  end  of  axle  arm. 

I — Is  malleable  iron  cap  screwing  on  end  of  box,  preventing  loss  of  axle 
nut  or  escape  of  lubricant  and  excluding  all  dirt  or  grit. 

G — Is  supply  of  grease  filling  hollow  of  arm.  By  removing  cap  I,  insert 
key  through  ''J"  in  the  nut  into  socket  in  piston  "P"  and  turning 
forward  the  grease  is  expelled  through  "/i"  and  along  groove  in  top 
of  arm  to  the  bearing.  To  use  oil  remove  the  piston  "P"  entirely, 
clean  out  all  grease  from  the  chamber  and  holes  in  top  and  bottom, 
put  on  the  wheel  screw  in  the  nut  and  with  ordinary  oiler  inject  the 
oil  through  "j"  in  nut  whence  it  will  run  to  the  bearing.  In  using 
oil  the  leather  washers  "'/  and  gr"  should  be  thick  enough  to  prevent 
end  play  but  not  bind.  In  using  grease  the  washer  or  packing  shown 
in  the  sand  collar  may  be  omitted  or  not,  and  washers  "/  and  g" 
should  be  free  enough  to  allow  a  little  end  play. 

These  axles  are  made  right  and  left  the  same  as  others.  The  wheels  are 
not,  but  the  caps  on  front  end  of  hubs  are  all  threaded  right  hand.  Other- 
wise all  corresponding  parts  in  each  size  are  made  interchangeable. 

We  prefer  and  advise  but  little  dish  in  our  wheels.  Our  spokes  are 
driven  quite  firm  and -wall  not  draw  much  in  tiring,  so  do  not  "draught" 
the  rim  too  much.  Set  the  axle  with  very  little  if  any  front  gather,  as  the 
arm  is  straight.  Set  the  bottom  of  arms  so  as  to  give  "  plumb  spoke"  as  in 
other  wheels.  Do  not  heat  the  axles  near  the  collars — give  the  set  in  the 
center.  When  ready  to  grease  screw  out  the  piston  P,  carefully  clean  the 
same  and  the  grease  chamber  to  get  all  sand  and  grit  out  of  the  threads  ; 
also  the  collar,  the  hub  and  all  parts.  Now  fill  the  chamber  fidl  of  grease, 
screw  in  the  piston  1  inch  to  IJ  inch  from  the  end,  far  enough  to  let  the  axle 
nut  be  screwed  well  home.  Put  on  wheel,  screw  in  the  nut  securely,  insert 
the  key  through  j  and  turn  forward  three  or  four  revolutions,  spinning  the 
wheel  at  same  time. 

It  is  important  to  see  that  the  foregoing  instructions  are  complied 
with.  Watch  the  running  carefully  the  first  few  days  or  week,  then  turn 
out  a  Little  fresh  grease  upon  the  arm,  after  which  every  two  to  four  weeks 
will  be  often  enough  to  turn  out  more.  Too  much  will  show  at  the  collar. 
A  little  care  and  experience  will  be  your  best  guides  in  this. 

Getting  started  ofl"  all  right  will  be  a  great  saving  in  the  future  and 
afford  much  satisfaction  in  all  respects.

NEW   STYLE. 


OLD    STYLE. 


The  cuts  above  accurately  represent  this  axle  in  contrast  with  one 
of  the  ordinary  style  and  of  the  same  size  of  bed. 

The  relative  size  and  strength  is  clearly  and  fairly  shown.  This  axle 
bed  is  in  all  cases  the  same  size  and  shape  as  in  the  common  axle,  but  there 
all  similarity  ceases. 

In  the  common  style  the  arm,  at  the  collar,  where  it  usually  breaks, 
contains  only  three-fourths  of  the  metal  (76  per  cent.)  which  is  in  the  square 
of  the  bed,  and  at  this  point  it  is  relatively  weaker  because  of  being  cut 
down  at  a  right  angle,  from  which  form,  the  pounding  of  the  wheel  causes 
the  metal  to  crystallize  and  break,  while  this  axle,  beginning  some  distance 
back  from  the  arm  or  bearing,  enlarges  to  a  neck  with  a  diameter  equal  to 
the  cornerwise  thickness  of  the  bed,  and  this  neck  always  and  necessarily 
contains  double  the  metal,  and  consequently  more  than  double  the  strength 
of  the  common  axle-arm,  and  being  made  without  a  square  cut  shoulder 
it  will  never  crystalhze  or  break.

TO  OUR  PATRONS: 

We  take  pleasure  in  presenting  the  trade  with  our  1889  Price  List 
herewith  and  trust  it  will  be  found  entirely  satisfactory. 

No  changes  to  speak  of  have  been  made  in  the  prices  of  goods  here- 
tofore quoted.  A  few  more  sizes  of  wheels  have  been  added  this  year, 
also  a  new  axle  and  wheel  which  are  mentioned  more  particularly  below. 
We  never  felt  better  prepared  to  serve  our  customers  in  every  department 
of  our  business  than  at  present. 

It  will  be  our  constant  and  utmost  endeavor  in  the  future,  as  in  the 
past,  to  give  our  customers  perfect  satisfaction ;  and  the  added  improve- 
ments which  the  experience  of  nearly  forty-five  years  in  the  business  has 
suggested,  give  us  faith  to  believe  that  our  success  in  so  doing  is  beyond 
experiment. 

We  have  now  on  hand  a  very  large  stock  of  seasoned  second  growth 
Hickory  and  White  Oak,  and  with  the  best  modern  machinery  and  long 
experience  in  the  business  feel  that  we  are  enabled  to  furnish  the  best 
icheels  made  for  the  prices  charged.  We  challenge  a  comparison,  at  equal 
cost,  with  any  and  all  other  makes  of  wheels,  for  style,  durability  and 
strength. 

We  desire  to  call  particular  attention  to  our  light  wheels.  They  are 
all  made  of  pure  second  growth  Hickory  spokes  and  rims  and  Elm  hubs, 
carefully  seasoned  and  put  together,  nicely  finished  and  the  prices  for 
them  will  be  found  very  reasonable. 

It  seems  hardly  necessary  for  us  to  especially  notice  our  unpatented 
styles  of  Wheels,  which  include  English,  and  Common  styles,  they  being 
so  thoroughly  well  known  already.  A  steadily  increasing  trade  from  1845 
down  to  the  present  time  attests  the  care  we  take  with  them,  and  their 
consequent  value.  It  is  our  intention,  and  will  be  our  constant  endeavor 
in  the  future,  to  excel  in  these  lines  of  work.  We  make  but  two  qualities 
("Extra"  and  "No.  1")  of  Wheels  having  Sharp  Edged  (English  Style) 
Spokes.  Of  the  usual  styles  Wood  Hub  Wheels,  we  make  four  qualities, 
viz  :  Extra,  No.  1,  No.  2,  and  No.  3. 

We  have  very  desirable  Spoke  Patterns,  etc.,  for  light  wheels  for  road 
wagons  and  other  light  driving  vehicles.  We  ask  a  special  trial  for  these, 
believing  them  to  be  the  most  stylish  and  durable  wheels  of  the  kind  made. 


NEW  HAVEN  WHEEL  COMPANY. 


We  make  four  grades  of  the  light  sizes  of  the  genuine  "Sarven" 
Wheel,  designated  A,  B,  C  and  D  respectively. 

We  shall  continue  to  pay  special  attention  to  the  first  class  (A)  Sarven 
Wheel,  vFhich  has  been  adjudged  by  the  public,  after  more  than  thirty 
years'  use,  the  best  patent  vtheel  made.  The  lovrer  gi-ades  are  made 
in  order  to  supply  the  constant  demand  for  good  durable  wheels  at  mod- 
erate prices.    As  such  we  confidently  recommend  them. 

We  also  make  four  qualities  of  the  Warner  Patent  Wheel,  designated 
XXXX.  XXX,  XX  and  X  respectively.  This  wheel  has  now  been  before 
the  trade  for  some  twenty  years,  and  has  been  accepted  and  approved  on 
its  merits.  It  is  a  favorite  wheel,  very  reliable,  and  its  use  is  quite  widely 
extended. 

Of  the  Kenney  Patent  Banded  Hub  Wheels  we  also  make  four  qualities 
of  the  light  sizes,  designated  XXXX,  XXX,  XX  and  X  respectively.  This 
excellent  wheel  has  been  thoroughly  tried,  is  very  popular  and  continues 
to  grow  in  public  favor. 

During  the  past  four  years  we  have  manufactured  the  wheels  sold  by 
the  American  Axle  and  Wheel  Company  of  New  York,  and  through  this 
experience  have  carefully  observed  the  growth  and  character  of  their  trade. 
The  great  merit  both  in  their  axle  and  wheel,  as  well  as  their  superior 
lubricating  device,  have  led  us  to  arrange  with  that  company  to  offer  their 
goods  to  our  trade,  which  we  do  in  this  issue.  They  make  but  one  grade 
of  these  goods,  and  that  strictly  the  best. 

For  the  purpose  of  meeting  a  demand  both  at  home  and  abroad,  and 
especially  in  those  places  where  properly  skilled  labor,  pertaining  to  this 
branch  of  business,  is  not  readily  attainable,  we  some  years  ago  added  to 
our  wheel  business  the  tiring,  boxing  and  banding  of  wheels ;  also  the 
furnishing  of  axles.  Our  customers  are  thereby  enabled  to  procure  their 
wheels  simply  finished  in  the  wood,  or  to  procure  them  tired,  or  tired, 
banded  and  boxed,  and  with  any  usual  style  or  make  of  axles  they  desire. 
This  department  is  greatly  appreciated  by  many  of  our  customers,  who  use 
it  frequently  and  find  it  of  great  convenience  and  advantage. 

W"e  ask  a  fan-  trial  for  all  our  work.  Thanking  our  many  friends  and 
customers  for  generous  favors  in  the  past  and  trusting  to  receive  and 
merit  such  in  the  future,  we  remain,  with  great  respect,

Second  quality  Sulky  Wheels  cost  $2.00  per  pair  less  than  prices  quoted 

above.     We  make  but  two  qualities  of  Sulky  Wheels. 

Size  of  Spokes  in  above  lists  is  taken  as  basis  of  price.    Other  sizes  should 

be  in  proportion,  otherwise  the  wheels  will  be  liable  to  an  extra  charge.

^ — Is  the  square  bed  of  axle,  conforming  in  shape  and  size  to  the  common 
axle. 

A — Is  the  neck,  its  diameter  equal  to  the  cornerwise  thickness  of  the  bed. 

Q — Is  the  arm  or  bearing ;  its  diameter  being  considerably  greater  than  the  neck. 

C— Is  collar  or  sand  band,  of  malleable  iron,  forced  upon  the  neck.  Enter- 
ing between  back  end  of  hub  and  box,  as  shown,  it  helps  to  form  the 
annular  recesses  "M  and  iV"  to  fill  with  spent  grease  and  exclude 
sand,  grit,  etc. 

X) — Is  axle  box  of  best  quality  gray  iron.  It  is  without  taper  inside  and 
outside  and  is  forced  into  the  malleable  iron  hub.  This  box  has  a 
flange  "  e"  cast  solid  inside  near  its  front  end  and  the  leather  washers 
•'/  and  9"  on  either  side  cushion  the  end  of  the  axle  arm  and  the 
flange   "d"  of  the  nut  in  either  direction. 

J£—ls  axle  nut  of  malleable  iron,  hollow  as  shown,  and  screwed  into  the 
hollow  end  of  axle  arm. 

J— Is  malleable  iron  cap  screwing  on  end  of  box,  preventing  loss  of  axle 
nut  or  escape  of  lubricant  and  excluding  all  dirt  or  grit.' 

G — Is  supply  of  grease  filling  hollow  of  arm.  By  removing  cap  /,  insert 
key  through  "j"  in  the  nut  into  socket  in  piston  "P"  and  turning- 
forward  the  grease  is  expelled  through  "/«,'"  and  along  groove  in  top 
of  arm  to  the  bearing.  To  use  oil  remove  the  piston  "P"  entirely, 
clean  out  all  grease  from  the  chamber  and  holes  in  top  and  bottom, 
put  on  the  wheel  screw  in  the  nut  and  with  ordinary  oiler  inject  the 
oil  through  "J"  in  nut  whence  it  will  nan  to  the  bearing.  In  using 
oil  the  leather  washers  ''/  and  gf"  should  be  thick  enough  to  prevent 
end  play  but  not  bind.  In  using  grease  the  washer  or  packing  shown 
in  the  sand  collar  may  be  omitte'd  or  not,  and  washers  "/  and  gf" 
should  be  free  enough  to  allow  a  little  end  play. 

These  axles  are  made  right  and  left  the  same  as  others.  The  wheels  are 
not,  but  the  caps  on  front  end  of  hubs  are  all  threaded  right  hand.  Other- 
wise all  corresponding  parts  in  each  size  are  made  interchangeable. 

We  prefer  and  advise  but  little  dish  in  our  wheels.  Our  spokes  are 
driven  quite  firm  and  will  not  draw  much  in  tiring,  so  do  not  "draught" 
the  rim  too  much.  Set  the  axle  with  very  little  if  any  front  gather,  as  the 
arm  is  straight.  Set  the  bottom  of  arms  so  as  to  give  "  plumb  spoke"  as  in 
other  wheels.  Do  not  heat  the  axles  ilear  the  collars — give  the  set  in  the 
center.  When  ready  to  grease  screw  out  the  piston  P,  carefully  clean  the 
same  and  the  grease  chamber  to  get  all  sand  and  grit  out  of  the  threads  ; 
also  the  collar,  the  hub  and  all  parts.  Now  fill  the  chamber  full  of  grease, 
screw  in  the  piston  1  inch  to  1^  inch  from  the  end,  far  enough  to  let  the  axle 
nut  be  screwed  well  home.  Put  on  wheel,  screw  in  the  nut  securely,  insert 
the  key  through  j  and  turn  forward  three  or  four  revolutions,  spinning  the 
wheel  at  same  time. 

It  is  important  to  see  that  the  foregoing  instructions  are  complied 
with.  Watch  the  running  carefully  the  first  few  days  or  week,  then  turn 
out  a  little  fresh  grease  upon  the  arm,  after  which  every  two  to  four  weeks 
will  be  often  enough  to  turn  out  more.  Too  much  will  show  at  the  collar. 
A  little  care  and  experience  will  be  your  best  guides  in  this. 

Getting  started  off  all  right  will  be  a  great  saving  in  the  future  and 
afford  much  satisfaction  in  all  respects.

American  Axle  and  Wheel  Company's 
Patent  Axle  and  Wheel. 


NEW   STYLE. 


OLD    STYLE. 


The  cuts  above  accurately  represent  this  axle  in  contrast  with  one 
of  the  ordinary  style  and  of  the  same  size  of  bed. 

The  relative  size  and  strength  is  clearly  and  fairly  shown.  This  axle 
bed  is  in  all  cases  the  same  size  and  shape  as  in  the  common  axle,  bvit  there 
all  similarity  ceases. 

In  the  common  style  the  arm,  at  the  collar,  where  it  usually  breaks, 
contains  only  three-fourths  of  the  metal  (76  per  cent.)  which  is  in  the  square 
of  the  bed,  and  at  this  point  it  is  relatively  weaker  because  of  being  cut 
down  at  a  right  angle,  from  which  form,  the  i)ounding  of  the  wheel  causes 
the  metal  to  crystallize  and  break,  while  this  axle,  beginning  some  distance 
back  from  the  arm  or  bearing,  enlarges  to  a  neck  with  a  diameter  equal  to 
the  cornerwise  thickness  of  the  bed,  and  this  neck  always  and  necessarily 
contains  double  the  metal,  and  consequently  more  than  double  the  strength 
of  the  common  axle-arm,  and  being  made  withovit  a  square  cut  shoulder 
it  will  never  crystallize  or  break.

TO  OUR  PATRONS: 

We  take  pleasure  in  presenting  the  trade  with  our  1889  Price  List 
herewith  and  trust  it  will  be  found  entirely  satisfactory. 

No  changes  to  speak  of  have  been  made  in  the  prices  of  goods  here- 
tofore quoted.  A  few  more  sizes  of  wheels  have  been  added  this  year, 
also  a  new  axle  and  wheel  which  are  mentioned  more  particularly  below. 
We  never  felt  better  prepared  to  serve  our  customers  in  every  department 
of  our  business  than  at  present. 

It  wUl  be  our  constant  and  utmost  endeavor  in  the  future,  as  in  the 
past,  to  give  our  customers  perfect  satisfaction ;  and  the  added  improve- 
ments which  the  experience  of  nearly  forty-five  years  in  the  business  has 
suggested,  give  us  faith  to  believe  that  our  success  in  so  doing  is  beyond 
experiment. 

We  have  now  on  hand  a  very  large  stock  of  seasoned  second  growth 
Hickory  and  White  Oak,  and  with  the  best  modern  machinery  and  long 
experience  in  the  business  feel  that  we  are  enabled  to  furnish  the  best 
wheels  made  for  the  prices  charged.  We  challenge  a  comparison,  at  equal 
cost,  with  any  and  all  other  makes  of  wheels,  for  style,  durability  and 
strength. 

We  desire  to  call  particular  attention  to  our  light  wheels.  They  are 
all  made  of  pure  second  growth  Hickory  spokes  and  rims  and  Elm  hubs, 
carefully  seasoned  and  put  together,  nicely  finished  and  the  prices  for 
them  will  be  found  very  reasonable. 

It  seems  hardly  necessary  for  us  to  especially  notice  our  unpatented 
styles  of  Wheels,  which  include  English,  and  Common  styles,  they  being 
so  thoroughly  well  known  already.  A  steadily  increasing  trade  from  1845 
down  to  the  present  time  attests  the  care  we  take  with  them,  and  their 
consequent  value.  It  is  our  intention,  and  will  be  our  constant  endeavor 
in  the  future,  to  excel  in  these  lines  of  work.  We  make  but  two  qualities 
("Extra"  and  "No.  1")  of  Wheels  having  Sharp  Edged  (English  Style) 
Spokes.  Of  the  usual  styles  Wood  Hub  Wheels,  we  make  four  qualities, 
viz  :  Extra,  No.  1,  No.  2,  and  No.  3. 

We  have  very  desirable  Spoke  Patterns,  etc.,  for  light  wheels  for  road 
wagons  and  other  light  driving  vehicles.  We  ask  a  special  trial  for  these, 
believing  them  to  be  the  most  stylish  and  durable  wheels  of  the  kind  made. 


NEW  HAVEN  WHEEL  C03IPANY. 


We  make  fovir  grades  of  the  light  sizes  of  the  genuine  "Sarven" 
Wheel,  designated  A,  B,  C  and  D  respectively. 

We  shall  continue  to  pay  special  attention  to  the  first  class  (A)  Sarven 
Wheel,  which  has  been  adjudged  by  the  public,  after  more  than  thirty 
years'  use,  the  best  patent  wheel  made.  The  lower  grades  are  made 
in  order  to  supply  the  constant  demand  for  good  durable  wheels  at  mod- 
erate prices.     As  such  we  confidently  recommend  them. 

We  also  make  four  qualities  of  the  Warner  Patent  Wheel,  designated 
XXXX,  XXX,  XX  and  X  respectively.  This  wheel  has  now  been  before 
the  trade  for  some  twenty  years,  and  has  been  accepted  and  approved  on 
its  merits.  It  is  a  favorite  wheel,  very  reliable,  and  its  use  is  quite  widely 
extended. 

Of  the  Kenney  Patent  Banded  Hub  Wheels  we  also  make  four  qualities 
of  the  light  sizes,  designated  XXXX,  XXX,  XX  and  X  respectively.  This 
excellent  wheel  has  been  thoroughly  tried,  is  very  popular  and  continues 
to  grow  in  public  favor. 

During  the  past  four  years  we  have  manufactured  the  wheels  sold  by 
the  American  Axle  and  Wheel  Company  of  New  York,  and  through  this 
experience  have  carefully  observed  the  growth  and  character  of  their  trade. 
The  great  merit  both  in  their  axle  and  wheel,  as  well  as  their  superior 
lubricating  device,  have  led  us  to  arrange  with  that  company  to  offer  their 
goods  to  our  trade,  which  we  do  in  this  issue.  They  make  but  one  grade 
of  these  goods,  and  that  strictly  the  best. 

For  the  purpose  of  meeting  a  demand  both  at  home  and  abroad,  and 
especially  in  those  places  where  properly  skilled  labor,  pertaining  to  this 
branch  of  business,  is  not  readily  attainable,  we  some  years  ago  added  to 
our  wheel  business  the  tiring,  boxing  and  banding  of  wheels;  also  the 
furnishing  of  axles.  Our  customers  are  thereby  enabled  to  procure  their 
wheels  simply  finished  in  the  wood,  or  to  procure  them  tired,  or  tired, 
banded  and  boxed,  and  with  any  usual  style  or  make  of  axles  they  desire. 
This  department  is  greatly  appreciated  by  many  of  our  customers,  who  use 
it  frequently  and  find  it  of  great  convenience  and  advantage. 

We  ask  a  fair  trial  for  all  our  work.  Thanking  our  many  friends  and 
customers  for  generous  favors  in  the  past  and  trusting  to  receive  and 
merit  such  in  the  future,  we  remain,  with  great  respect, 

NEW    HAVEN   WHEEL    CO.

Size  of  Spokes  in  above  lists  is  taken  as  basis  of  price.  Other  sizes  should 
be  in  proportion,  otherwise  the  wheels  will  be  liable  to  an  extra  charge.

B — Is  the  square  bed  of  axle,  conforming  in  shape  and  size  to  the  common 
axle. 

A — Is  the  neck,  its  diameter  equal  to  the  cornerwise  thickness  of  the  bed. 

O — Is  the  arm  or  bearing ;  its  diameter  being  considerably  greater  than  the  neck. 

C — Is  collar  or  sand  band,  of  malleable  iron,  forced  upon  the  neck.  Enter- 
ing between  back  end  of  hub  and  box,  as  shown,  it  helps  to  form  the 
annular  recesses  "31  and  iV"  to  fill  with  spent  grease  and  exclude 
sand,  grit,  etc. 

X> — Is  axle  box  of  best  quality  gray  iron.  It  is  without  taper  inside  and 
outside  and  is  forced  into  the  malleable  iron  hub.  This  box  has  a 
flange  "  e"  cast  solid  inside  near  its  front  end  and  the  leather  washers 
"/  andgt"  on  either  side  cushion  the  end  of  the  axle  arm  and  the 
flange   "d"  of  the  nut  in  either  direction. 

H — Is  axle  nut  of  malleable  iron,  hollow  as  shown,  and  screwed  into  the 
hollow  end  of  axle  arm. 

I — Is  malleable  iron  cap  screwing  on  end  of  box,  preventing  loss  of  axle 
nut  or  escape  of  lubricant  and  excluding  all  dirt  or  grit. 

G — Is  supply  of  grease  filling  hollow  of  arm.  By  removing  cap  I,  insert 
key  through  "j"  in  the  nut  into  socket  in  piston  "P"  and  turning 
forward  the  grease  is  expelled  through  "/«-"  and  along  groove  in  top 
of  arm  to  the  bearing.  To  use  oil  remove  the  piston  "P"  entirely, 
clean  out  all  grease  from  the  chamber  and  holes  in  top  and  bottom, 
put  on  the  wheel  screw  in  the  nut  and  with  ordinary  oiler  inject  the 
oil  throiigh  "j"  in  nut  whence  it  will  run  to  the  bearing.  In  using 
oil  the  leather  washers  "/  and  g"  should  be  thick  enough  to  prevent 
end  play  but  not  bind.  In  using  grease  the  washer  or  packing  shown 
in  the  sand  collar  may  be  omitted  or  not,  and  washers  "/  and  g" 
should  be  free  enough  to  allow  a  little  end  play. 

These  axles  are  made  right  and  left  the  same  as  others.  The  wheels  are 
not,  but  the  caps  on  front  end  of  hubs  are  all  threaded  right  hand.  Other- 
wise all  corresponding  parts  in  each  size  are  made  interchangeable. 

We  prefer  and  advise  but  little  dish  in  our  wheels.  Our  spokes  are 
driven  quite  firm  and  will  not  draw  much  in  tiring,  so  do  not  "draught" 
the  rim  too  much.  Set  the  axle  with  very  little  if  any  front  gather,  as  the 
arm  is  straight.  Set  the  bottom  of  arms  so  as  to  give  "plumb  spoke"  as  in 
other  wheels.  Do  not  heat  the  axles  near  the  collars — give  the  set  in  the 
center.  When  ready  to  grease  screw  out  the  piston  P,  carefully  clean  the 
same  and  the  grease  chamber  to  get  all  sand  and  grit  out  of  the  threads  ; 
also  the  collar,  the  hub  and  all  parts.  Now  fill  the  chamber  full  of  grease, 
screw  in  the  piston  1  inch  to  1^  inch  from  the  end,  far  enough  to  let  the  axle 
nut  be  screwed  weU  home.  Put  on  wheel,  screw  in  the  nut  securely,  insert 
the  key  through  j  and  turn  forward  three  or  four  revolutions,  spinning  the 
wheel  at  same  time. 

It  is  important  to  see  that  the  foregoing  instructions  are  complied 
with.  Watch  the  running  carefully  the  first  few  days  or  week,  then  turn 
out  a  little  fresh  grease  upon  the  arm.  after  which  every  two  to  four  weeks 
will  be  often  enough  to  turn  out  more.  Too  much  will  show  at  the  collar. 
A  little  care  and  experience  will  be  your  best  guides  in  this. 

Getting  started  off  all  right  will  be  a  great  saving  in  the  future  and 
afford  much  satisfaction  in  all  respects.

NEW   STYLE. 


OLD    STYLE. 


The  cuts  above  accurately  represent  this  axle  in  contrast  with  one 
of  the  ordinary  style  and  of  the  same  size  of  bed. 

The  relative  size  and  strength  is  clearly  and  fairly  shown.  This  axle 
bed  is  in  all  cases  the  same  size  and  shape  as  in  the  common  axle,  but  there 
all  similarity  ceases. 

In  the  common  style  the  ar7n,  at  the  collar,  where  it  usually  breaks, 
contains  only  three-fourths  of  the  metal  (76  per  cent.)  which  is  in  the  square 
of  the  bed,  and  at  this  point  it  is  relatively  weaker  because  of  being  cut 
down  at  a  right  angle,  from  wliich  form,  the  pounding  of  the  wheel  causes 
the  metal  to  crystallize  and  break,  while  this  axle,  beginning  some  distance 
back  from  the  arm  or  bearing,  enlarges  to  a  neck  with  a  diameter  equal  to 
the  cornerwise  thickness  of  the  bed,  and  this  neck  always  and  necessarily 
contains  double  the  metal,  and  consequently  more  than  double  the  strength 
of  the  common  axle-arm,  and  being  made  without  a  square  cut  shoulder 
it  will  never  crystallize  or  break.

EST^^BLISHEID    1845. 


New  Haven  Wheel  Company. 


TO  OUR  PATRONS: 

We  take  pleasure  in  presenting  the  trade  with  our  1889  Price  List 
herewith  and  trust  it  will  be  found  entirely  satisfactory. 

No  changes  to  speak  of  have  been  made  in  the  prices  of  goods  here- 
tofore quoted.  A  few  more  sizes  of  wheels  have  been  added  this  year, 
also  a  new  axle  and  wheel  which  are  mentioned  more  particularly  below. 
We  never  felt  better  prepared  to  serve  our  customers  in  every  department 
of  our  business  than  at  present. 

It  will  be  our  constant  and  utmost  endeavor  in  the  future,  as  in  the 
past,  to  give  our  customers  perfect  satisfaction ;  and  the  added  irnprove- 
ments  which  the  experience  of  nearly  forty-five  years  in  the  business  has 
suggested,  give  us  faith  to  believe  that  our  success  in  so  doing  is  beyond 
experiment. 

We  have  now  on  hand  a  very  large  stock  of  seasoned  second  growth 
Hickory  and  White  Oak,  and  with  the  best  modern  machinery  and  long 
experience  in  the  business  feel  that  we  are  enabled  to  furnish  the  best 
ivheels  made  for  the  prices  charged.  We  challenge  a  comparison,  at  equal 
cost,  with  any  and  all  other  makes  of  wheels,  for  style,  durability  and 
strength. 

We  desire  to  call  particular  attention  to  our  light  wheels.  They  are 
all  made  of  pure  second  growth  Hickory  spokes  and  rims  and  Elm  hubs, 
carefully  seasoned  and  put  together,  nicely  finished  and  the  prices  for 
them  will  be  found  very  reasonable. 

It  seems  hardly  necessary  for  us  to  especially  notice  our  unpatented 
styles  of  Wheels,  which  include  English,  and  Common  styles,  they  being 
so  thoroughly  well  known  already.  A  steadily  increasing  trade  from  1845 
down  to  the  present  time  attests  the  care  we  take  with  them,  and  their 
consequent  value.  It  is  our  intention,  and  will  be  our  constant  endeavor 
in  the  future,  to  excel  in  these  lines  of  work.  We  make  but  two  qualities 
("Extra"  and  "No.  1")  of  Wheels  having  Sharp  Edged  (English  Style) 
Spokes.  Of  the  usual  styles  Wood  Hub  Wheels,  we  make  four  qualities, 
viz  :  Extra,  No.  1,  No.  2,  and  No.  3. 

We  have  very  desirable  Spoke  Patterns,  etc.,  for  light  wheels  for  road 
wagons  and  other  light  driving  vehicles.  We  ask  a  special  trial  for  these, 
believing  them  to  be  the  most  stylish  and  durable  wheels  of  the  kind  made. 


NEW  HAVEN  WHEEL  COMPANY 


We  make  fom-  grades  of  the  light  sizes  of  the  genuine  "Sarven" 
Wheel,  designated  A,  B,  C  and  D  respectively. 

We  shall  continue  to  pay  special  attention  to  the  first  class  (A)  Sarven 
Wheel,  which  has  been  adjudged  by  the  public,  after  more  than  thirty 
years'  use,  the  best  patent  wheel  made.  The  lower  grades  are  made 
in  order  to  supply  the  constant  demand  for  good  durable  wheels  at  mod- 
erate prices.     As  such  we  confidently  recommend  them. 

We  also  make  four  qualities  of  the  Warner  Patent  Wheel,  designated 
XXXX,  XXX,  XX  and  X  respectively.  This  wheel  has  now  been  before 
the  trade  for  some  twenty  years,  and  has  been  accepted  and  approved  on 
its  merits.  It  is  a  favorite  wheel,  very  reliable,  and  its  use  is  quite  widely 
extended. 

Of  the  Kenney  Patent  Banded  Hub  Wheels  we  also  make  four  qualities 
of  the  light  sizes,  designated  XXXX,  XXX,  XX  and  X  respectively.  This 
excellent  wheel  has  been  thoroughly  tried,  is  very  popular  and  continues 
to  grow  in  public  favor. 

During  the  past  four  years  we  have  manufactured  the  wheels  sold  by 
the  American  Axle  and  Wheel  Company  of  New  York,  and  through  this 
experience  have  carefully  obsei'ved  the  growth  and  character  of  their  trade. 
The  great  merit  both  in  then-  axle  and  wheel,  as  well  as  their  superior 
lubricating  device,  have  led  us  to  arrange  with  that  company  to  offer  their 
goods  to  our  trade,  which  we  do  in  this  issue.  They  make  but  one  grade 
of  these  goods,  and  that  strictly  the  best. 

For  the  purpose  of  meeting  a  demand  both  at  home  and  abroad,  and 
especially  in  those  places  where  properly  skilled  labor,  pertaining  to  this 
branch  of  business,  is  not  readily  attainable,  we  some  years  ago  added  to 
our  wheel  business  the  tiring,  boxing  and  banding  of  wheels ;  also  the 
furnishing  of  axles.  Our  customers  are  thereby  enabled  to  procure  their 
wheels  simply  finished  in  the  wood,  or  to  procure  them  tired,  or  tired, 
banded  and  boxed,  and  with  any  usual  style  or  make  of  axles  they  desire. 
This  department  is  greatly  appreciated  by  many  of  our  customers,  who  use 
it  frequently  and  find  it  of  great  convenience  and  advantage. 

We  ask  a  fair  trial  for  all  our  work.  Thanking  our  many  friends  and 
customers  for  generous  favors  in  the  past  and  trusting  to  receive  and 
merit  such  in  the  future,  we  remain,  with  great  respect.

tional charge  of  50  cents  per  inch  per  wheel  for  all  such  excess.

Second  quality  Sulky  Wheels  cost  $2.00  per  pair  less  than  prices  quoted 

above.     We  make  but  two  qualities  of  Sulky  Wheels. 

Size  of  Spokes  in  above  lists  is  taken  as  basis  of  price.    Other  sizes  should 

be  in  proportion,  otherwise  the  wheels  will  be  liable  to  an  extra  charge.

B — Is  the  square  bed  of  axle,  conforming  in  shape  and  size  to  the  common 
axle. 

A — Is  the  neck,  its  diameter  equal  to  the  cornerwise  thickness  of  the  bed. 

O — Is  the  arm  or  bearing ;  its  diameter  being  considerably  greater  than  the  neck. 

C— Is  collar  or  sand  band,  of  malleable  iron,  forced  upon  the  neck.  Enter- 
ing between  back  end  of  hub  and  box,  as  shown,  it  helps  to  form  the 
annular  recesses  "If  and  N"  to  fill  with  spent  grease  and  exclude 
sand,  grit,  etc. 

1> — Is  axle  box  of  best  quality  gray  iron.  It  is  without  taper  inside  and 
outside  and  is  forced  into  the  malleable  iron  hub.  This  box  has  a 
flange  "  e"  cast  solid  inside  near  its  front  end  and  the  leather  washers 
"/andgi"  on  either  side  cushion  the  end  of  the  axle  arm  and  the 
flange   "d"  of  the  nut  in  either  direction. 

-H^— Is  axle  nut  of  malleable  iron,  hollow  as  shown,  and  screwed  into  the 
hollow  end  of  axle  arm. 

I — Is  malleable  iron  cap  screwing  on  end  of  box,  preventing  loss  of  axle 
nut  or  escape  of  lubricant  and  excluding  all  dirt  or  grit. 

G — Is  supply  of  grease  filling  hollow  of  arm.  By  removing  cap  I,  insert 
key  through  "j"  in  the  nut  into  socket  in  piston  "P"  and  turning 
forward  the  grease  is  expelled  through  "7i''  and  along  groove  in  top 
of  arm  to  the  bearing.  To  use  oil  remove  the  piston  "P"  entirely, 
clean  out  all  grease  from  the  chamber  and  holes  in  top  and  bottom, 
put  on  the  wheel  screw  in  the  nut  and  with  ordinary  oiler  inject  the 
oil  through  "J"  in  nut  whence  it  will  run  to  tlie  bearing.  In  using 
oil  the  leather  washers  "/  and  gr"  should  be  thick  enough  to  prevent 
end  play  but  not  bind.  In  using  grease  the  washer  or  packing  shown 
in  the  sand  collar  may  be  omitted  or  not,  and  washers  "/  and  g" 
should  be  free  enough  to  allow  a  little  end  play. 

These  axles  are  made  right  and  left  the  same  as  others.  The  wheels  are 
not,  but  the  caps  on  front  end  of  hubs  are  all  threaded  right  hand.  Other- 
wise all  corresponding  parts  in  each  size  are  made  interchangeable. 

We  prefer  and  advise  but  little  dish  in  our  wheels.  Our  spokes  are 
driven  quite  firm  and  will  not  draw  much  in  tiring,  so  do  not  "draught" 
the  rim  too  much.  Set  the  axle  with  very  little  if  any  front  gather,  as  the 
arm  is  straight.  Set  the  bottom  of  arms  so  as  to  give  "  plumb  spoke"  as  in 
other  wheels.  Do  not  heat  the  axles  near  the  collars— give  the  set  in  the 
center.  When  ready  to  grease  screw  out  the  piston  P,  carefully  clean  the 
same  and  the  grease  chamber  to  get  all  sand  and  grit  out  of  the  threads  ; 
also  the  collar,  the  hub  and  all  parts.  Now  fill  the  chamber  full  of  grease, 
screw  in  the  piston  1  inch  to  lir  inch  from  the  end,  far  enough  to  let  the  axle 
nut  be  screwed  well  home.  Put  on  wheel,  screw  in  the  nut  securely,  insert 
the  key  through  y  and  turn  forward  three  or  four  revolutions,  spinning  the 
wheel  at  same  time. 

It  is  important  to  see  that  the  foregoing  instructions  are  complied 
with.  Watch  the  ninning  carefully  the  first  few  days  or  week,  then  turn 
out  a  little  fresh  grease  upon  the  arm,  after  which  every  two  to  four  weeks 
will  be  often  enough  to  turn  out  more.  Too  much  will  show  at  the  collar. 
A  little  care  and  experience  will  be  your  best  guides  in  this. 

Getting  started  off  all  right  will  be  a  great  saving  in  the  future  and 
afford  much  satisfaction  in  all  respects.

Patent  Axle  and  Wheel. 

NEW   STYLE. 


OLD    STYLE. 


The  cuts  above  accurately  represent  this  axle  in  contrast  with  one 
of  the  ordinary  style  and  of  the  same  size  of  bed. 

The  relative  size  and  strength  is  clearly  and  fairly  shown.  This  axle 
bed  is  in  all  cases  the  same  size  and  shape  as  in  the  common  axle,  bvit  there 
all  similarity  ceases. 

In  the  common  style  the  ar7n,  at  the  collar,  where  it  usually  breaks, 
contains  only  three-fourths  of  the  metal  (76  per  cent.)  which  is  in  the  square 
of  the  bed,  and  at  this  point  it  is  relatively  weaker  because  of  being  cut 
down  at  a  right  angle,  from  which  form,  the  pounding  of  the  wheel  causes 
the  metal  to  crystallize  and  break,  while  this  axle,  beginning  some  distance 
back  from  the  arm  or  bearing,  enlarges  to  a  neck  with  a  diameter  equal  to 
the  cornerwise  thickness  of  the  bed,  and  this  neck  always  and  necessarily 
contains  double  the  metal,  and  consequently  more  than  double  the  strength 
of  the  common  axle-arm,  and  being  made  without  a  square  cut  shoulder 
it  will  never  crystallize  or  break.

New  Haven  Wheel  Company. 


TO  OUR  PATRONS: 

We  take  pleasure  in  presenting  the  trade  with  our  1889  Price  List 
herewith  and  trust  it  will  be  found  entirely  satisfactory. 

No  changes  to  speak  of  have  been  made  in  the  prices  of  goods  here- 
tofore quoted.  A  few  mofre  sizes  of  wheels  have  been  added  this  year, 
also  a  new  axle  and  wheel  which  are  mentioned  more  particularly  below. 
We  never  felt  better  prepared  to  serve  our  customers  in  every  department 
of  our  business  than  at  present. 

It  will  be  our  constant  and  utmost  endeavor  in  the  future,  as  in  the 
past,  to  give  our  customers  perfect  satisfaction ;  and  the  added  improve- 
ments which  the  experience  of  nearly  forty-five  years  in  the  business  has 
suggested,  give  us  faith  to  believe  that  our  success  in  so  doing  is  beyond 
experiment. 

We  have  now  on  hand  a  very  large  stock  of  seasoned  second  growth 
Hickory  and  White  Oak,  and  with  the  best  modern  machinery  and  long 
experience  in  the  business  feel  that  we  are  enabled  to  furnish  the  best 
v)heels  made  for  the  prices  charged.  We  challenge  a  comparison,  at  equal 
cost,  with  any  and  all  other  makes  of  wheels,  for  style,  durability  and 
strength. 

We  desire  to  call  particular  attention  to  our  light  wheels.  They  are 
all  made  of  pure  second  growth  Hickoiy  spokes  and  rims  and  Elm  hubs, 
carefully  seasoned  and  put  together,  nicely  finished  and  the  prices  for 
them  will  be  found  very  reasonable. 

It  seems  hardly  necessary  for  us  to  especially  notice  our  unpatented 
styles  of  Wheels,  which  include  EngUsh,  and  Common  styles,  they  being 
so  thoroughly  well  known  already.  A  steadily  increasing  trade  from  1845 
down  to  the  present  time  attests  the  care  we  take  with  them,  and  their 
consequent  value.  It  is  our  intention,  and  will  be  our  constant  endeavor 
in  the  future,  to  excel  in  these  lines  of  work.  We  make  but  two  qualities 
("Extra"  and  "No.  1")  of  Wheels  having  Sharp  Edged  (English  Style) 
Spokes.  Of  the  usual  styles  Wood  Hub  Wheels,  we  make  four  qualities, 
viz :  Extra,  No.  1,  No.  2,  and  No.  3. 

We  have  very  desirable  Spoke  Patterns,  etc.,  for  light  wheels  for  road 
wagons  and  other  light  driving  vehicles.  We  ask  a  special  trial  for  these, 
believing  them  to  be  the  most  stylish  and  durable  wheels  of  the  kind  made. 


NEW  HAVEN  WHEEL  C03IPANY. 


We  make  fom-  grades  of  the  light  sizes  of  the  genuine  "Sarven" 
Wheel,  designated  A,  B,  C  and  D  respectively. 

We  shall  continue  to  pay  special  attention  to  the  first  class  (A)  Sarven 
Wheel,  which  has  been  adjudged  by  the  public,  after  more  than  thirty 
years'  use,  the  best  patent  wheel  made.  The  lower  grades  are  made 
in  order  to  supply  the  constant  demand  for  good  durable  wheels  at  mod- 
erate prices.     As  such  we  confidently  recommend  them. 

We  also  make  four  qualities  of  the  Warner  Patent  Wheel,  designated 
XXXX,  XXX,  XX  and  X  respectively.  This  wheel  has  now  been  before 
the  trade  for  some  twenty  years,  and  has  been  accepted  and  approved  on 
its  merits.  It  is  a  favorite  wheel,  very  reliable,  and  its  use  is  quite  widely 
extended. 

Of  the  Kenney  Patent  Banded  Hub  Wheels  we  also  make  four  qualities 
of  the  light  sizes,  designated  XXXX,  XXX,  XX  and  X  respectively.  This 
excellent  wheel  has  been  thoroughly  tried,  is  very  popular  and  continues 
to  grow  in  public  favor. 

During  the  past  four  years  we  have  manufactured  the  wheels  sold  by 
the  American  Axle  and  Wheel  Company  of  New  York,  and  through  this 
experience  have  carefully  observed  the  growth  and  character  of  their  trade. 
The  great  merit  both  in  their  axle  and  wheel,  as  well  as  their  superior 
lubricating  device,  have  led  us  to  arrange  with  that  company  to  offer  their 
goods  to  our  trade,  which  we  do  in  this  issue.  They  make  but  one  grade 
of  these  goods,  and  that  strictly  the  best. 

For  the  purpose  of  meeting  a  demand  both  at  home  and  abroad,  and 
especially  in  those  places  where  properly  skilled  labor,  pertaining  to  this 
branch  of  business,  is  not  readily  attainable,  we  some  years  ago  added  to 
our  wheel  business  the  tiring,  boxing  and  banding  of  wheels ;  also  the 
furnishing  of  axles.  Our  customers  are  thereby  enabled  to  procure  their 
wheels  simply  finished  in  the  wood,  or  to  procure  them  tired,  or  tired, 
banded  and  boxed,  and  with  any  usual  style  or  make  of  axles  they  desii-e. 
This  department  is  greatly  appreciated  by  many  of  our  customers,  who  use 
it  frequently  and  find  it  of  great  convenience  and  advantage. 

We  ask  a  fair  trial  for  all  our  work.  Thanking  our  many  friends  and 
customers  for  generous  favors  in  the  past  and  trusting  to  receive  and 
merit  such  in  the  future,  we  remain,  with  great  respect.

B — Is  the  square  bed  of  axle,  conforming  in  shape  and  size  to  the  common 
axle. 

A — Is  the  neck,  its  diameter  equal  to  the  cornerwise  thickness  of  the  bed. 

O — Is  the  arm  or  bearing ;  its  diameter  being  considerably  greater  than  the  neck. 

C— Is  collar  or  sand  band,  of  malleable  iron,  forced  upon  the  neck.  Enter- 
ing between  back  end  of  hub  and  box,  as  shown,  it  helps  to  form  the 
annular  recesses  "31  and  iV"  to  fill  with  spent  grease  and  exclude 
sand,  grit,  etc. 

U — Is  axle  box  of  best  quaUty  gray  iron.  It  is  without  taper  inside  and 
outside  and  is  forced  into  the  malleable  iron  hub.  This  box  has  a 
flange  "  e"  cast  solid  inside  near  its  front  end  and  the  leather  washers 
"/  andg"  on  either  side  cushion  the  end  of  the  axle  arm  and  the 
flange   "d"   of  the  nut  in  either  direction. 

JET^Is  axle  nut  of  malleable  iron,  hollow  as  shown,  and  screwed  into  the 
hollow  end  of  axle  arm. 

I — Is  malleable  iron  cap  screwing  on  end  of  box,  preventing  loss  of  axle 
nut  or  escape  of  lubricant  and  excluding  all  dirt  or  grit. 

6r — Is  supply  of  grease  filling  hollow  of  aiTn.  By  removing  cap  I,  insert 
key  through  "J"  in  the  nut  into  socket  in  piston  "P"  and  turning 
forward  the  grease  is  expelled  through  "/t"  and  along  groove  in  top 
of  arm  to  the  bearing.  To  use  oil  remove  the  piston  "P"  entirely, 
clean  out  all  grease  from  the  chamber  and  holes  in  top  and  bottom, 
put  on  the  wheel  screw  in  the  nut  and  with  ordinary  oiler  inject  the 
oil  through  "j"  in  nut  whence  it  will  run  to  the  bearing.  In  using 
oil  the  leather  washers  *'/  and  gt"  should  be  thick  enough  to  prevent 
end  play  but  not  bind.  In  using  grease  the  washer  or  packing  shown 
in  the  sand  collar  may  be  omitted  or  not,  and  washers  "/  and  g" 
should  be  free  enough  to  allow  a  Little  end  play. 

These  axles  are  made  right  and  left  the  same  as  others.  The  wheels  are 
not,  but  the  caps  on  front  end  of  hubs  are  all  threaded  right  hand.  Other- 
wise all  corresponding  parts  in  each  size  are  made  interchangeable. 

We  prefer  and  advise  but  little  dish  in  our  wheels.  Our  spokes  are 
driven  quite  firm  and  will  not  draw  much  in  tiring,  so  do  not  "draught" 
the  rim  too  much.  Set  the  axle  with  very  little  if  any  front  gather,  as  the 
arm  is  straight.  Set  the  bottom  of  arms  so  as  to  give  "plumb  spoke"  as  in 
other  wheels.  Do  not  heat  the  axles  near  the  collars — give  the  set  in  the 
center.  When  ready  to  grease  screw  out  the  i^iston  P,  cai'ef ully  clean  the 
same  and  the  grease  chamber  to  get  all  sand  and  grit  out  of  the  threads  ; 
also  the  collar,  the  hub  and  all  parts.  Now  fill  the  chamber  full  of  grease, 
screw  in  the  piston  1  inch  to  IJ  inch  from  the  end,  far  enough  to  let  the  axle 
nut  be  screwed  well  home.  Put  on  wheel,  screw  in  the  nut  securely,  insert 
the  key  through  y  and  turn  forward  three  or  four  revolutions,  spinning  the 
wheel  at  same  time. 

It  is  important  to  see  that  the  foregoing  instructions  are  complied 
with.  Watch  the  running  carefully  the  first  few  days  or  week,  then  turn 
out  a  little  fresh  grease  upon  the  arm,  after  which  every  two  to  four  weeks 
will  be  often  enough  to  turn  out  more.  Too  much  will  show  at  the  collar. 
A  little  care  and  experience  will  be  your  best  guides  in  this. 

Getting  started  off  all  right  will  be  a  great  saving  in  the  future  and 
afford  much  satisfaction  in  all  respects.

NEW  HAVEN  WHEEL  COMPANY. 


American  Axle  and  Wheel  Company's 
Patent  Axle  and  Wheel. 


NEW   STYLE. 


OLD    STYLE. 


The  cuts  above  accurately  represent  this  axle  in  contrast  with  one 
of  the  ordinary  style  and  of  the  same  size  of  bed. 

The  relative  size  and  strength  is  clearly  and  fairly  shown.  This  axle 
hed  is  in  all  cases  the  same  size  and  shape  as  in  the  common  axle,  but  there 
all  similarity  ceases. 

In  the  common  style  the  arm,  at  the  collar,  where  it  usually  breaks, 
contains  only  three-fourths  of  the  metal  (76  per  cent.)  which  is  in  the  square 
of  the  bed,  and  at  this  point  it  is  relatively  weaker  because  of  being  cut 
down  at  a  right  angle,  from  wliich  form,  the  pounding  of  the  wheel  causes 
the  metal  to  crystallize  and  break,  while  this  axle,  beginning  some  distance 
back  from  the  arm  or  bearing,  enlarges  to  a  neck  with  a  diameter  equal  to 
the  cornerwise  thickness  of  the  bed,  and  this  neck  always  and  necessarily 
contains  double  the  metal,  and  consequently  more  than  double  the  strength

New  Haven  Wheel  Company. 


TO   OUR  PATRONS: 

We  take  pleasure  in  presenting  the  trade  with  our  1889  Price  List 
herewith  and  trust  it  will  be  found  entirely  satisfactory. 

No  changes  to  speak  of  have  been  made  in  the  prices  of  goods  here- 
tofore quoted.  A  few  more  sizes  of  wheels  have  been  added  this  year, 
also  a  new  axle  and  wheel  which  are  mentioned  more  particularly  below. 
We  never  felt  better  prepared  to  serve  our  customers  in  every  department 
of  our  business  than  at  present. 

It  will  be  our  constant  and  utmost  endeavor  in  the  future,  as  in  the 
past,  to  give  our  customers  perfect  satisfaction;  and  the  added  improve- 
ments which  the  experience  of  nearly  forty-five  years  in  the  business  has 
suggested,  give  us  faith  to  believe  that  our  success  in  so  doing  is  beyond 
experiment. 

We  have  now^  on  hand  a  very  large  stock  of  seasoned  second  growth 
Hickory  and  White  Oak,  and  with  the  best  modern  machinery  and  long 
experience  in  the  business  feel  that  we  are  enabled  to  furnish  the  best 
wheels  made  for  the  prices  charged.  We  challenge  a  comparison,  at  equal 
cost,  with  any  and  all  other  makes  of  wheels,  for  style,  durability  and 
strength. 

We  desire  to  call  particular  attention  to  our  light  wheels.  They  are 
all  made  of  pure  second  growth  Hickory  spokes  and  rims  and  Elm  hubs, 
carefully  seasoned  and  put  together,  nicely  finished  and  the  prices  for 
them  will  be  found  very  reasonable. 

It  seems  hardly  necessary  for  us  to  especially  notice  our  unpatented 
styles  of  Wheels,  which  include  English,  and  Common  styles,  they  being 
so  thoroughly  well  known  already.  A  steadily  increasing  trade  from  1845 
down  to  the  present  time  attests  the  care  we  take  with  them,  and  their 
consequent  value.  It  is  our  intention,  and  will  be  our  constant  endeavor 
in  the  future,  to  excel  in  these  lines  of  work.  We  make  but  two  qualities 
("Extra"  and  "No.  1")  of  Wheels  having  Sharp  Edged  (English  Style) 
Spokes.  Of  the  usual  styles  Wood  Hub  Wheels,  we  make  four  qualities, 
viz :  Extra,  No.  1,  No.  2,  and  No.  3. 

We  have  very  desirable  Spoke  Patterns,  etc.,  for  light  wheels  for  road 
wagons- and  other  light  driving  vehicles.  We  ask  a  special  trial  for  these, 
believing  them  to  be  the  most  stylish  and  durable  wheels  of  the  kind  made. 


NEW  HAVEN  WHEEL  COMPANY. 


We  make  four  grades  of  the  light  sizes  of  the  genuine  "Sarven" 
Wheel,  designated  A,  B,  C  and  D  respectively. 

We  shall  continue  to  pay  special  attention  to  the  first  class  (A)  Sarven 
Wheel,  which  has  been  adjudged  by  the  public,  after  more  than  thirty 
years'  use,  the  best  patent  wheel  made.  The  lower  grades  are  made 
in  order  to  supply  the  constant  demand  for  good  durable  wheels  at  mod- 
erate prices.     Asjsuch  we  confidently  recommend  them. 

We  also  make  four  qualities  of  the  Warner  Patent  Wheel,  designated 
XXXX,  XXX,  XX  and  X  respectively.  This  wheel  has  now  been  before 
the  trade  for  some  twenty  years,  and  has  been  accepted  and  approved  on 
its  merits.  It  is  a  favorite  wheel,  very  reliable,  and  its  use  is  quite  widely 
extended. 

Of  the  Kenney  Patent  Banded  Hub  Wheels  we  also  make  four  qualities 
of  the  light  sizes,  designated  XXXX,  XXX,  XX  and  X  respectively.  This 
excellent  wheel  has  been  thoroughly  tried,  is  very  popular  and  continues 
to  grow  in  public  favor. 

During  the  past  four  years  we  have  manufactured  the  wheels  sold  by 
the  American  Axle  and  Wheel  Company  of  New  York,  and  through  this 
experience  have  carefully  observed  the  growth  and  character  of  their  trade. 
The  great  merit  both  in  their  axle  and  wheel,  as  well  as  their  superior 
lubricating  device,  have  led  us  to  arrange  with  that  company  to  offer  their 
goods  to  our  trade,  which  we  do  in  this  issue.  They  make  but  one  grade 
of  these  goods,  and  that  strictly  the  best. 

For  the  purpose  of  meeting  a  demand  both  at  home  and  abroad,  and 
especially  in  those  places  where  properly  skilled  labor,  pertaining  to  this 
branch  of  business,  is  not  readily  attainable,  we  some  years  ago  added  to 
our  wheel  business  the  tiring,  boxing  and  banding  of  wheels ;  also  the 
furnishing  of  axles.  Our  customers  are  thereby  enabled  to  procure  their 
wheels  simply  finished  in  the  wood,  or  to  procure  them  tired,  or  tired, 
banded  and  boxed,  and  with  any  usual  style  or  make  of  axles  they  desire. 
This  department  is  greatly  appreciated  by  many  of-  our  customers,  who  use 
it  frequently  and  find  it  of  great  convenience  and  advantage. 

We  ask  a  fair  trial  for  all  our  work.  Thanking  our  many  friends  and 
customers  for  generous  favors  in  the  past  and  trusting  to  receive  and 
merit  such  in  the  future,  we  remain,  with  great  respect.

N.  B. — The  price  of  Screwing  or  Riveting  rims  of  all  styles  of  wheels  is 
given  on  page  7,  and  is  governed  always  by  the  width  of  tread. 

Be  particular  to  give  all  dimensions  possible  when  ordering  wheels,  as

Second  quality  Sulky  Wheels  cost  $2,00  per  pair  less  than  prices  quoted 

above.     We  make  but  two  qualities  of  Sulky  Wheels. 

Size  of  Spokes  in  above  lists  is  taken  as  basis  of  price.    Other  sizes  should 

be  in  proportion,  otherwise  the  wheels  will  be  liable  to  an  extra  charge.

B — Is  tlie  square  bed  of  axle,  conforming  in  shape  and  size  to  the  common 
axle. 

A — Is  the  neck,  its  diameter  equal  to  the  cornerwise  thickness  of  the  bed. 

O — Is  the  arm  or  bearing ;  its  diameter  being  considerably  greater  than  the  neck. 

C7— Is  collar  or  sand  band,  of  malleable  iron,  forced  upon  the  neck.  Enter- 
ing between  back  end  of  hub  and  box,  as  shown,  it  helps  to  form  the 
annular  recesses  "it/  and  iV"  to  fill  with  spent  grease  and  exclude 
sand,  grit,  etc. 

2> — Is  axle  box  of  best  quality  gray  iron.  It  is  without  taper  inside  and 
outside  and  is  forced  into  the  malleable  iron  hub.  This  box  has  a 
flange  "  e"  cast  solid  inside  near  its  front  end  and  the  leather  washers 
"/  andgi"  on  either  side  cushion  the  end  of  the  axle  arm  and  the 
flange   "  d"   of  the  nut  in  either  direction. 

H^ls,  axle  nut  of  malleable  iron,  hollow  as  shown,  and  screwed  into  the 
hollow  end  of  axle  arm. 

J— Is  malleable  iron  cap  screwing  on  end  of  box,  preventing  loss  of  axle 
nut  or  escape  of  lubricant  and  excluding  all  dirt  or  grit. 

G — Is  supply  of. grease  filling  hollow  of  arm.  By  removing  cap  7,  insert 
key  through  "j"  in  the  nut  into  socket  in  piston  "P"  and  turning 
forward  the  grease  is  expelled  through  "/i'"  and  along  groove  in  top 
of  arm  to  the  bearing.  To  use  oil  remove  the  piston  "P"  entirely, 
clean  out  all  grease  from  the  chamber  and  holes  in  top  and  bottom, 
put  on  the  wheel  screw  in  the  nut  and  with  ordinary  oiler  inject  the 
oil  through  "j"  in  nut  whence  it  will  run  to  the  bearing.  In  using 
oil  the  leather  washers  "/  and  gr"  should  be  thick  enough  to  prevent 
end  play  but  not  bind.  In  using  grease  the  washer  or  packing  shown 
in  the  sand  collar  may  be  omitted  or  not,  and  washers  "/  and  gr" 
should  be  free  enough  to  allow  a  little  end  play. 

These  axles  are  made  right  and  left  the  same  as  others.  The  wheels  are 
not,  but  the  caps  on  front  end  of  hubs  are  all  threaded  right  hand.  Other- 
wise all  corresponding  i^arts  in  each  size  are  made  interchangeable. 

We  prefer  and  advise  but  little  dish  in  our  wheels.  Our  spokes  are 
driven  quite  firm  and  will  not  draw  much  in  tiring,  so  do  not  "draught" 
the  rim  too  much.  Set  the  axle  with  very  little  if  any  front  gather,  as  the 
arm  is  straight.  Set  the  bottom  of  arms  so  as  to  give  ' '  plumb  spoke  "  as  in 
other  wheels.  Do  not  heat  the  axles  near  the  collars — give  the  set  in  the 
center.  When  ready  to  grease  screw  out  the  piston  P,  carefully  clean  the 
same  and  the  grease  chamber  to  get  all  sand  and  grit  out  of  the  threads  ; 
also  the  collar,  the  hub  and  all  parts.  Now  fill  the  chamber  full  of  grease, 
sci'ew  in  the  piston  1  inch  to  1^  inch  from  the  end,  far  enough  to  let  the  axle 
nut  be  screwed  well  home.  Put  on  wheel,  screw  in  the  nut  securely,  insert 
the  key  through /and  tuvTo.  forward  three  or  four  revolutions,  spinning  the 
wheel  at  same  time. 

It  is  important  to  see  that  the  foregoing  instructions  are  complied 
with.  Watch  the  running  carefully  the  first  few  days  or  week,  then  turn 
out  a  little  fresh  grease  upon  the  arm.  after  which  every  two  to  four  weeks 
will  be  often  enough  to  turn  out  more.  Too  much  "^ill  show  at  the  collar. 
A  little  care  and  experience  will  be  your  best  guides  in  this. 

Getting  started  off  all  right  will  be  a  great  saving  in  the  future  and 
afford  much  satisfaction  in  all  respects.

NEW  STYLE. 


OLD   STYLE. 


The  cuts  above  accurately  represent  this  axle  in  contrast  with  one 
of  the  ordinary  style  and  of  the  same  size  of  bed. 

The  relative  size  and  strength  is  clearly  and  fau-ly  shown.  This  axle 
bed  is  in  all  cases  the  same  size  and  shape  as  in  the  common  axle,  but  there 
all  similarity  ceases. 

In  the  common  style  the  arm,  at  the  collar,  where  it  usually  breaks, 
contains  only  three-fourths  of  the  metal  (76  per  cent.)  which  is  in  the  square 
of  the  bed,  and  at  this  point  it  is  relatively  weaker  because  of  being  cut 
down  at  a  right  angle,  from  which  form,  the  jDOunding  of  the  wheel  causes 
the  metal  to  crystallize  and  break,  while  this  axle,  beginning  some  distance 
back  from  the  arm  or  bearing,  enlarges  to  a  neck  with  a  diameter  equal  to 
the  cornerwise  thickness  of  the  bed,  and  this  neck  always  and  necessarily 
contains  double  the  metal,  and  consequently  more  than  double  the  strength 
of  the  common  axle-arm,  and  being  made  without  a  square  cut  shoulder 
it  will  never  crystallize  or  break.

ESTJ^k-BLISHEID    184S_ 


New  Haven  Wheel  Company. 


TO  OUR  PATRONS: 

We  take  pleasure  in  presenting  the  trade  with  our  1889  Price  List 
herewith  and  trust  it  will  be  found  entirely  satisfactory. 

No  changes  to  speak  of  have  been  made  in  the  prices  of  goods  here- 
tofore quoted.  A  few  more  sizes  of  wheels  have  been  added  this  year, 
also  a  new  axle  and  wheel  which  are  mentioned  more  particularly  below. 
We  never  felt  better  prepared  to  serve  our  customers  in  every  department 
of  our  business  than  at  present. 

It  will  be  our  constant  and  utmost  endeavor  in  the  future,  as  in  the 
past,  to  give  our  customers  perfect  satisfaction;  and  the  added  improve- 
ments which  the  experience  of  nearly  forty-five  years  in  the  business  has 
suggested,  give  us  faith  to  believe  that  our  success  in  so  doing  is  beyond 
experiment. 

We  have  now  on  hand  a  very  large  stock  of  seasoned  second  growth 
Hickory  and  White  Oak,  and  Avith  the  best  modern  machinery  and  long 
experience  in  the  business  feel  that  we  are  enabled  to  furnish  the  best 
wheels  made  for  the  prices  charged.  We  challenge  a  comparison,  at  equal 
cost,  with  any  and  all  other  makes  of  wheels,  for  style,  dtirability  and 
strength. 

We  desire  to  call  particular  attention  to  our  light  wheels.  They  are 
all  made  of  pure  second  growth  Hickory  spokes  and  rims  and  Elm  hubs, 
carefully  seasoned  and  put  together,  nicely  finished  and  the  prices  for 
them  will  be  found  very  reasonable. 

It  seems  hardly  necessary  for  us  to  especially  notice  our  unpatented 
styles  of  Wheels,  which  include  English,  and  Common  styles,  they  being 
so  thoroughly  well  known  already.  A  steadily  increasing  trade  from  1845 
down  to  the  present  time  attests  the  care  we  take  with  them,  and  their 
consequent  value.  It  is  our  intention,  and  will  be  our  constant  endeavor 
in  the  future,  to  excel  in  these  lines  of  work.  We  make  but  two  qualities 
("Extra"  and  "No.  1")  of  Wheels  having  Sharp  Edged  (English  Style) 
Spokes.  Of  the  usual  styles  Wood  Hub  Wheels,  we  make  four  qualities, 
viz :  Extra,  No.  1,  No.  2,  and  No.  3. 

We  have  very  desirable  Spoke  Patterns,  etc. ,  for  light  wheels  for  road 
wagons  and  other  light  driving  vehicles.  We  ask  a  special  trial  for  these, 
believing  them  to  be  the  most  stylish  and  durable  wheels  of  the  kind  made. 


NEW  HAVEN  WHEEL  COMPANY 


We  make  four  grades  of  the  light  sizes  of  the  genuine  "Sarven" 
Wheel,  designated  A,  B,  C  and  D  respectively. 

We  shall  continue  to  pay  special  attention  to  the  first  class  (A)  Sarven 
Wheel,  which  has  been  adjudged  by  the  public,  after  more  than  thirty 
years'  use,  the  best  patent  wheel  made.  The  lower  grades  are  made 
in  order  to  supply  the  constant  demand  for  good  durable  wheels  at  mod- 
erate prices.     As  such  we  confidently  recommend  them. 

We  also  make  four  qualities  of  the  Warner  Patent  Wheel,  designated 
XXXX,  XXX,  XX  and  X  respectively.  This  wheel  has  now  been  before 
the  trade  for  some  twenty  years,  and  has  been  accepted  and  approved  on 
its  merits.  It  is  a  favorite  wheel,  very  reliable,  and  its  use  is  quite  widely 
extended. 

Of  the  Kenney  Patent  Banded  Hub  Wheels  we  also  make  four  qualities 
of  the  light  sizes,  designated  XXXX,  XXX,  XX  and  X  respectively.  This 
excellent  wheel  has  been  thoroughly  tried,  is  very  popular  and  continues 
to  grow  in  public  favor. 

During  the  past  four  years  we  have  manufactured  the  wheels  sold  by 
the  American  Axle  and  Wheel  Company  of  New  York,  and  through  this 
experience  have  carefully  observed  the  growth  and  character  of  their  trade. 
The  great  merit  both  in  their  axle  and  wheel,  as  well  as  their  superior 
lubricating  device,  have  led  us  to  arrange  with  that  company  to  offer  their 
goods  to  our  trade,  which  we  do  in  this  issue.  They  make  but  one  grade 
of  these  goods,  and  that  strictly  the  best. 

For  the  purpose  of  meeting  a  demand  both  at  home  and  abroad,  and 
especiallj^  in  those  places  where  properly  skilled  labor,  pertaining  to  this 
branch  of  business,  is  not  readily  attainable,  we  some  years  ago  added  to 
our  wheel  business  the  tiring,  boxing  and  banding  of  wheels ;  also  the 
furnishing  of  axles.  Our  customers  are  thereby  enabled  to  procure  their 
wheels  simply  finished  in  the  wood,  or  to  procure  them  tired,  or  tired, 
banded  and  boxed,  and  with  any  iisual  style  or  make  of  axles  they  desire. 
This  department  is  gieatly  appreciated  by  many  of  our  customers,  who  use 
it  frequently  and  find  it  of  great  convenience  and  advantage. 

We  ask  a  fair  trial  for  all  our  work.  Thanking  our  many  friends  and 
customers  for  generous  favors  in  the  past  and  trusting  to  receive  and 
merit  such  in  the  future,  we  remain,  with  great  respect.

tional charge  of  50  cents  per  inch  per  wheel  for  all  such  excess.

above.     We  make  but  two  qualities  of  Sulky  Wheels. 

Size  of  Spokes  in  above  lists  is  taken  as  basis  of  price.  Other  sizes  should 
be  in  proportion,  otherwise  the  wheels  will  be  liable  to  an  extra  charge.

NEW  HAVEN  WHEEL  COMPANY. 


J5— Is  the  square  bed  of  axle,  conforming  in  shape  and  size  to  the  common 
axle. 

^— Is  the  neck,  its  diameter  equal  to  the  cornerwise  thickness  of  the  bed. 

O— Is  the  arm  or  bearing ;  its  diameter  being  considerably  greater  than  the  neck. 

C—Is  collar  or  sand  band,  of  malleable  iron,  forced  upon  the  neck.  Enter- 
ing between  back  end  of  hub  and  box,  as  shown,  it  helps  to  form  the 
annular  recesses  "IT  and  iV"  to  fill  with  spent  grease  and  exclude 
sand,  grit,  etc. 

X>— Is  axle  box  of  best  quality  gray  iron.  It  is  without  taper  inside  and 
outside  and  is  forced  into  the  malleable  iron  hub.  This  box  has  a 
flange  "e"  cast  solid  inside  near  its  front  end  and  the  leather  washers 
"/  andgt"  on  either  side  cushion  the  end  of  the  axle  arm  and  the 
flange   "d"  of  the  nut  in  either  direction. 

Jf— Is  axle  nut  of  malleable  iron,  hollow  as  shown,  and  screwed  into  the 
hollow  end  of  axle  ai'ni. 

J— Is  malleable  iron  cap  screwing  on  end  of  box,  preventing  loss  of  axle 
nut  or  escape  of  lubricant  and  excluding  all  dirt  or  grit. 

6r— Is  supply  of  grease  filling  hollow  of  arm.  By  removing  cap  I,  insert 
key  through  "j"  in  the  nut  into  socket  in  piston  "P"  and  turning- 
forward  the  grease  is  expelled  through  "7i"  and  along  groove  in  top 
of  arm  to  the  bearing.  To  use  oil  remove  the  piston  "P"  entirely, 
clean  out  all  grease  from  the  chamber  and  holes  in  fop  and  bottom, 
put  on  the  wheel  screw  in  the  nvit  and  with  ordinary  oiler  inject  the 
oil  through  "j"  in  nut  whence  it  will  rim  to  tlie  bearing.  In  using 
oil  the  leather  washers  "/  and  g"  should  be  thick  enough  to  prevent 
end  play  but  not  bind.  In  using  grease  the  washer  or  packing  shown 
in  the  sand  collar  may  be  omitted  or  not,  and  washers  "/  and  g" 
should  be  free  enough  to  allow  a  little  end  play. 

These  axles  are  made  right  and  left  the  same  as  others.  The  wheels  are 
not,  but  the  caps  on  front  end  of  hubs  are  all  threaded  right  hand.  Other- 
wise all  corresponding  parts  in  each  size  are  made  interchangeable. 

We  prefer  and  advise  but  little  dish  in  our  wheels.  Our  spokes  are 
driven  quite  firm  and  will  not  draw  much  in  tiring,  so  do  not  "draught" 
the  rim  too  much.  Set  the  axle  with  very  little  if  any  front  gather,  as  the 
arm  is  straight.  Set  the  bottom  of  arms  so  as  to  give  "  plumb  spoke"  as  in 
other  wheels.  Do  not  heat  the  axles  near  the  collars— give  the  set  in  the 
center.  When  ready  to  grease  screw  out  the  piston  P,  carefully  clean  the 
same  and  the  grease  chamber  to  get  all  sand  and  grit  out  of  the  threads  ; 
also  the  collar,  the  hub  and  all  parts.  Now  fill  the  chamber  full  of  grease, 
screw  in  the  piston  1  inch  to  IJ  inch  from  the  end,  far  enough  to  let  the  axle 
nut  be  screwed  well  home.  Put  on  wheel,  screw  in  the  nut  securely,  insert 
the  key  through  j  and  turn  forward  three  or  four  revolutions,  spinning  the 
wheel  at  same  time. 

It  is  important  to  see  that  the  foregoing  instructions  are  complied 
with.  Watch  the  running  carefully  the  first  few  days  or  week,  then  turn 
out  a  little  fresh  grease  upon  the  arm,  after  which  every  two  to  four  weeks 
wiU  be  often  enough  to  turn  out  more.  Too  much  vtall  show  at  the  collar. 
A  little  care  and  experience  will  be  your  best  guides  in  this. 

Getting  started  off  all  right  will  be  a  great  saving  in  the  future  and 
afford  much  satisfaction  in  all  respects.

NEW   STYLE. 


OLD    STYLE. 


The  cuts  above  accurately  represent  this  axle  in  contrast  with  one 
of  the  ordinary  style  and  of  the  same  size  of  bed. 

The  relative  size  and  strength  is  clearly  and  fairly  shown.  This  axle 
bed  is  in  all  cases  the  same  size  and  shape  as  in  the  common  axle,  but  there 
all  similarity  ceases. 

In  the  common  style  the  arm,  at  the  collar,  where  it  usually  breaks, 
contains  only  three-fourths  of  the  metal  (76  per  cent.)  which  is  in  the  square 
of  the  bed,  and  at  this  point  it  is  relatively  weaker  because  of  being  cut 
down  at  a  right  angle,  from  which  form,  the  pounding  of  the  wheel  causes 
the  metal  to  crystallize  and  break,  while  this  axle,  beginning  some  distance 
back  from  the  arm  or  bearing,  enlarges  to  a  neck  with  a  diameter  equal  to 
the  cornerwise  thickness  of  the  bed,  and  this  neck  always  and  necessarily 
contains  double  the  Jnetal,  and  consequently  more  than  double  the  strength 
of  the  common  axle-arm,  and  being  made  without  a  square  cut  shoulder 
it  will  never  crystallize  or  break.

ESTJ^BHilSHEID    1845. 


New  Haven  Wheel  Company. 


TO  OUR  PATRONS: 

We  take  pleasure  in  presenting  the  trade  with  our  1889  Price  List 
herewith  and  trust  it  will  be  found  entirely  satisfactory. 

No  changes  to  speak  of  have  been  made  in  the  prices  of  goods  here- 
tofore quoted.  A  few  more  sizes  of  wheels  have  been  added  this  year, 
also  a  new  axle  and  wheel  which  are  mentioned  more  particularly  below. 
We  never  felt  better  prepared  to  serve  our  customers  in  every  department 
of  our  business  than  at  present. 

It  wUl  be  our  constant  and  utmost  endeavor  in  the  future,  as  in  the 
past,  to  give  our  customers  perfect  satisfaction ;  and  tlie  added  improve- 
ments which  the  experience  of  nearly  forty-five  years  in  the  business  has 
suggested,  give  us  faith  to  believe  that  our  success  in  so  doing  is  beyond 
experiment. 

We  have  now  on  hand  a  very  large  stock  of  seasoned  second  growth 
Hickory  and  White  OaJc,  and  with  the  best  modern  machinery  and  long 
experience  in  the  business  feel  that  we  are  enabled  to  furnish  the  best 
wheels  made  for  the  prices  charged.  We  challenge  a  comparison,  at  equal 
cost,  with  any  and  all  other  makes  of  wheels,  for  style,  durability  and 
strength. 

We  desire  to  call  particular  attention  to  our  light  wheels.  They  are 
all  made  of  pure  second  growth  Hickory  spokes  and  rims  and  Elm  hubs, 
carefully  seasoned  and  put  together,  nicely  finished  and  the  prices  for 
them  will  be  found  very  reasonable. 

It  seems  hardly  necessary  for  us  to  especially  notice  our  unpatented 
styles  of  Wheels,  which  include  English,  and  Common  styles,  they  being 
so  thoroughly  well  known  already.  A  steadily  increasing  trade  from  1845 
down  to  the  present  time  attests  the  care  we  take  with  them,  and  their 
consequent  value.  It  is  our  intention,  and  will  be  our  constant  endeavor 
in  the  future,  to  excel  in  these  lines  of  work.  We  make  but  two  qualities 
("Extra"  and  "No.  1")  of  Wheels  having  Sharp  Edged  (English  Style) 
Spokes.  Of  the  usual  styles  Wood  Hub  Wheels,  we  make  four  qualities,

We  have  very  desirable  Spoke  Patterns,  etc.,  for  light  wheels  for  road 
wagons  and  other  light  driving  vehicles.  We  ask  a  special  trial  for  these, 
believing  them  to  be  the  most  stylish  and  durable  wheels  of  the  kind  made. 


NEW  HAVEN  WHEEL  COMPANY. 


We  make  four  grades  of  the  light  sizes  of  the  genuine  "Sarven" 
Wheel,  designated  A,  B,  C  and  D  respectively. 

We  shall  continue  to  pay  special  attention  to  the  first  class  (A)  Sarven 
Wheel,  which  has  been  adjudged  by  the  public,  after  more  than  thirty 
years'  use,  the  best  patent  wheel  made.  The  lower  grades  are  made 
in  order  to  supply  the  constant  demand  for  good  durable  wheels  at  mod- 
erate prices.     As  such  we  confidently  recommend  them. 

We  also  make  four  qualities  of  the  Warner  Patent  Wheel,  designated 
XXXX,  XXX,  XX  and  X  respectively.  This  wheel  has  now  been  before 
the  trade  for  some  twenty  years,  and  has  been  accepted  and  approved  on 
its  merits.  It  is  a  favorite  wheel,  very  reliable,  and  its  use  is  quite  widely 
extended. 

Of  the  Kenney  Patent  Banded  Hub  Wheels  we  also  make  four  quaUties 
of  the  light  sizes,  designated  XXXX,  XXX,  XX  and  X  respectively.  This 
excellent  wheel  has  been  thoroughly  tried,  is  very  popular  and  continues 
to  grow  in  public  favor. 

During  the  past  four  years  we  have  manufactured  the  wheels  sold  by 
the  American  Axle  and  Wheel  Company  of  New  York,  and  through  this 
experience  have  carefully  observed  the  growth  and  character  of  their  trade. 
The  great  merit  both  in  their  axle  and  wheel,  as  well  as  their  superior 
lubricating  device,  have  led  us  to  arrange  with  that  company  to  offer  their 
goods  to  our  trade,  which  we  do  in  this  issue.  They  make  but  one  grade 
of  these  goods,  and  that  strictly  the  best. 

For  the  purpose  of  meeting  a  demand  both  at  home  and  abroad,  and 
especially  in  those  places  where  properly  skilled  labor,  pertaining  to  this 
branch  of  business,  is  not  readily  attainable,  we  some  years  ago  added  to 
our  wheel  business  the  tiring,  boxing  and  banding  of  wheels;  also  the 
furnishing  of  axles.  Our  customers  are  thereby  enabled  to  procure  their 
wheels  simply  finished  in  the  wood,  or  to  procure  them  tired,  or  tired, 
banded  and  boxed,  and  with  any  usual  style  or  make  of  axles  they  desire. 
This  department  is  gieatly  appreciated  by  many  of  our  customers,  who  use 
it  frequently  and  find  it  of  great  convenience  and  advantage. 

We  ask  a  fair  trial  for  all  our  work.  Thanking  our  many  friends  and 
customers  for  generous  favors  in  the  past  and  trusting  to  receive  and 
merit  such  in  the  futui-e,  we  remain,  with  great  respect.

S — Is  the  square  bed  of  axle,  conforming  in  shape  and  size  to  the  common 
axle. 

A — Is  the  neck,  its  diameter  equal  to  the  cornerwise  thickness  of  the  bed. 

O — Is  the  arm  or  bearing ;  its  diameter  being  considerably  greater  than  the  neck. 

C— Is  collar  or  sand  band,  of  malleable  iron,  forced  upon  the  neck.  Enter- 
ing between  back  end  of  hub  and  box,  as  shown,  it  helps  to  form  the 
annular  recesses  "M  and  N"  to  fill  with  spent  grease  and  exclude 
sand,  grit,  etc. 

X) — Is  axle  box  of  best  quality  gray  iron.  It  is  without  taper  inside  and 
outside  and  is  forced  into  the  malleable  iron  hub.  This  box  has  a 
flange  "e"  cast  solid  inside  near  its  front  end  and  the  leather  washers 
"/  andg"  on  either  side  cushion  the  end  of  the  axle  arm  and  the 
flange   "d"  of  the  nut  in  either  direction. 

if— Is  axle  nut  of  malleable  iron,  hollow  as  shown,  and  screwed  into  the 
hollow  end  of  axle  arm. 

J— Is  malleable  iron  cap  screwing  on  end  of  box,  preventing  loss  of  axle 
nut  or  escape  of  lubricant  and  excluding  all  dirt  or  grit. 

G — Is  supply  of  grease  filling  hollow  of  arm.  By  removing  cap  I,  insert 
key  through  "j"  in  the  nut  into  socket  in  piston  "P"  and  turning 
forward  the  grease  is  expelled  through  "/i"  and  along  groove  in  top 
of  arm  to  the  bearing.  To  use  oil  remove  the  piston  "P"  entirelj^, 
clean  out  all  gi-ease  from  the  chamber  and  holes  in  toj^  and  bottom, 
put  on  the  w-heel  screw  in  the  nut  and  with  ordinary  oiler  inject  the 
oil  through  "J"  in  nut  whence  it  will  run  to  the  bearing.  In  using 
oil  the  leather  washers  "/  and  g"  should  be  thick  enough  to  prevent 
end  play  but  not  bind.  In  using  grease  the  washer  or  packing  shown 
in  the  sand  collar  may  be  omitted  or  not,  and  washers  "/  and  g" 
should  be  free  enough  to  allow  a  Little  end  play. 

These  axles  are  made  right  and  left  the  same  as  others.  The  wheels  are 
not,  but  the  caps  on  front  end  of  hubs  are  all  threaded  right  hand.  Other- 
wise aU  corresponding  parts  in  each  size  are  made  interchangeable. 

We  prefer  and  advise  but  little  dish  in  our  wheels.  Our  spokes  are 
driven  quite  firm  and  will  not  draw  much  in  tiring,  so  do  not  "draught'' 
the  rim  too  much.  Set  the  axle  with  very  little  if  any  front  gather,  as  the 
arm  is  straight.  Set  the  bottom  of  arms  so  as  to  give  "plumb  spoke"  as  in 
other  wheels.  Do  not  heat  the  axles  near  the  collars — give  the  set  in  the 
center.  "When  ready  to  grease  screw  out  the  piston  P,  carefully  clean  the 
same  and  the  grease  chamber  to  get  all  sand  and  grit  out  of  the  threads  : 
also  the  collar,  the  hub  and  all  parts.  Now  fill  the  chamber  full  of  grease, 
screw  in  the  piston  1  inch  to  IJ  inch  from  the  end,  far  enough  to  let  the  axle 
nut  be  screwed  well  home.  Put  on  wheel,  screw  in  the  nut  securely,  insert 
the  key  through  J  and  turn /or ward  three  or  four  revolutions,  spinning  the 
wheel  at  same  time. 

It  is  important  to  see  that  the  foregoing  instructions  are  complied 
with.  Watch  the  running  carefully  the  first  few  days  or  week,  then  turn 
out  a  Little  fresh  grease  upon  the  arm,  after  which  every  two  to  four  weeks 
wiU  be  often  enough  to  turn  out  more.  Too  much  will  show  at  the  collar. 
A  little  care  and  experience  will  be  your  best  guides  in  this. 

Getting  started  off  all  right  will  be  a  great  saving  in  the  future  and 
aflford  much  satisfaction  in  all  respects.

NEW   STYLE. 


OLD    STYLE. 


The  cuts  above  accurately  represent  this  axle  in  contrast  with  one 
of  the  ordinary  style  and  of  the  same  size  of  bed. 

The  relative  size  and  strength  is  clearly  and  fairly  shown.  This  axle 
bed  is  in  all  cases  the  same  size  and  shape  as  in  the  common  axle,  but  there 
all  similarity  ceases. 

In  the  common  style  the  arm,  at  the  collar,  where  it  usually  breaks, 
contains  only  three-fourths  of  the  metal  (76  per  cent.)  which  is  in  the  square 
of  the  bed,  and  at  this  point  it  is  relatively  weaker  because  of  being  cut 
down  at  a  right  angle,  from  which  form,  the  pounding  of  the  wheel  causes 
the  metal  to  crystallize  and  break,  while  this  axle,  beginning  some  distance 
back  from  the  arm  or  bearing,  enlarges  to  a  neck  with  a  diameter  equal  to 
the  cornerwise  thickness  of  the  bed,  and  this  neck  always  and  necessarily 
contains  double  the  metal,  and  consequently  more  than  double  the  strength 
of  the  common  axle-arm,  and  being  made  without  a  square  cut  shoulder 
it  will  never  crystallize  or  break.

TO  OUR  PATRONS: 

We  take  pleasure  in  presenting  the  trade  with  our  1889  Price  List 
herewith  and  trust  it  will  be  found  entirely  satisfactory. 

No  changes  to  speak  of  have  been  made  in  the  prices  of  goods  here- 
tofore quoted.  A  few  more  sizes  of  wheels  have  been  added  this  year, 
also  a  new  axle  and  wheel  which  are  mentioned  more  particularly  below. 
We  never  felt  better  prepared  to  serve  our  customers  in  every  department 
of  our  business  than  at  present. 

It  will  be  our  constant  and  utmost  endeavor  in  the  future,  as  in  the 
past,  to  give  our  customers  perfect  satisfaction;  and  the  added  improve- 
ments which  the  experience  of  nearly  forty-five  years  in  the  business  has 
suggested,  give  us  faith  to  believe  that  our  success  in  so  doing  is  beyond 
experiment. 

We  have  now  on  hand  a  very  large  stock  of  seasoned  second  growth 
Hickory  and  White  Oak,  and  with  the  best  modern  machinery  and  long 
experience  in  the  business  feel  that  we  are  enabled  to  furnish  the  best 
wheels  made  for  the  prices  charged.  We  challenge  a  comparison,  at  equal 
cost,  with  any  and  all  other  makes  of  wheels,  for  style,  durability  and 
strength. 

We  desire  to  call  particular  attention  to  our  light  wheels.  They  are 
all  made  of  pure  second  growth  Hickory  spokes  and  rims  and  Elm  hubs, 
carefully  seasoned  and  put  together,  nicely  finished  and  the  prices  for 
them  will  be  found  very  reasonable. 

It  seems  hardly  necessary  for  us  to  especially  notice  our  unpatented 
styles  of  Wheels,  which  include  English,  and  Common  styles,  they  being 
so  thoroughly  well  known  already.  A  steadily  increasing  trade  from  1845 
down  to  the  present  time  attests  the  care  we  take  with  them,  and  their 
consequent  value.  It  is  our  intention,  and  will  be  our  constant  endeavor 
in  the  future,  to  excel  in  these  lines  of  work.  We  make  but  two  qualities 
("Extra"  and  "No.  1")  of  Wheels  having  Sharp  Edged  (English  Style) 
Spokes.  Of  the. usual  styles  Wood  Hub  Wheels,  we  make  four  qualities, 
viz :  Extra,  No.  1,  No.  2,  and  No.  3. 

We  have  very  desirable  Spoke  Patterns,  etc.,  for  light  wheels  for  road 
wagons  and  other  light  driving  vehicles.  We  ask  a  special  trial  for  these, 
believing  them  to  be  the  most  stylish  and  durable  wheels  of  the  kind  made. 


NEW  HAVEN  WHEEL  COMPANY. 


We  make  four  grades  of  the  light  sizes  of  the  genuine  "Sarven" 
Wheel,  designated  A,  B,  C  and  D  respectively. 

We  shall  continue  to  pay  special  attention  to  the  first  class  (A)  Sarven 
Wheel,  which  has  been  adjudged  by  the  public,  after  more  than  thirty 
years'  use,  the  best  patent  wheel  made.  The  lower  grades  are  made 
in  order  to  supply  the  constant  demand  for  good  durable  wheels  at  mod- 
erate prices.     As*  such  we  confidently  recommend  them. 

We  also  make  four  qualities  of  the  Warner  Patent  Wheel,  designated 
XXXX,  XXX,  XX  and  X  respectively.  This  wheel  has  now  been  before 
the  trade  for  some  twenty  years,  and  has  been  accepted  and  approved  on 
its  merits.  It  is  a  favorite  wheel,  very  reliable,  and  its  use  is  quite  widely 
extended. 

Of  the  Kenney  Patent  Banded  Hub  Wheels  we  also  make  four  qualities 
of  the  light  sizes,  designated  XXXX,  XXX,  XX  and  X  respectively.  This 
excellent  wheel  has  been  thoroughly  tried,  is  very  popular  and  continues 
to  grow  in  public  favor. 

During  the  past  four  years  we  have  manufactured  the  wheels  sold  by 
the  American  Axle  and  Wheel  Company  of  New  York,  and  through  this 
experience  have  carefully  observed  the  growth  and  character  of  their  trade. 
The  gi-eat  merit  both  in  their  axle  and  wheel,  as  well  as  their  superior 
lubricating  device,  have  led  us  to  arrange  with  that  company  to  offer  their 
goods  to  our  trade,  which  we  do  in  this  issue.  They  make  but  one  grade 
of  these  goods,  and  that  strictly  the  best. 

For  the  purpose  of  meeting  a  demand  both  at  home  and  abroad,  and 
especially  in  those  places  where  properly  skilled  labor,  pertaining  to  this 
branch  of  business,  is  not  readily  attainable,  we  some  years  ago  added  to 
our  wheel  business  the  tiring,  boxing  and  banding  of  wheels ;  also  the 
furnishing  of  axles.  Our  customers  are  thereby  enabled  to  procure  their 
wheels  simply  finished  in  the  wood,  or  to  procure  them  tired,  or  tired, 
banded  and  boxed,  and  with  any  usual  style  or  make  of  axles  they  desu-e. 
This  department  is  gieatly  appreciated  by  many  of  our  customers,  who  use 
it  frequently  and  find  it  of  great  convenience  and  advantage. 

We  ask  a  fair  trial  for  all  our  work.  Thanking  our  many  friends  and 
customers  for  generous  favors  in  the  past  and  trusting  to  receive  and 
merit  such  in  the  future,  we  remain,  with  great  respect,

N.  B. — The  price  of  Screwing  or  Riveting  rims  of  all  styles  of  wheels  is

tional charge  of  50  cents  per  inch  per  wheel  for  all  such  excess.

O — Is  the  arm  or  bearing ;  its  diameter  being  considerabl j'^  greater  than  the  neck. 

C — Is  collar  or  sand  band,  of  malleable  iron,  forced  upon  the  neck.  Enter- 
ing between  back  end  of  hub  and  box,  as  shown,  it  helps  to  form  the 
annular  recesses  "iH  and  iV"  to  fill  with  spent  grease  and  exclude 
sand,  grit,  etc. 

i) — Is  axle  box  of  best  quality  gray  iron.  It  is  without  taper  inside  and 
outside  and  is  forced  into  the  malleable  u-on  hub.  This  box  has  a 
flange  "  e"  cast  solid  inside  near  its  front  end  and  the  leather  washers 
"/  andgi"  on  either  side  cushion  the  end  of  the  axle  arm  and  the 
flange   "d"  of  the  nut  in  either  direction. 

H^ls  axle  nut  of  malleable  iron,  hollow  as  shown,  and  screwed  into  the 
hollow  end  of  axle  arm. 

J— Is  malleable  iron  cap  screwing  on  end  of  box,  preventing  loss  of  axle 
nut  or  escape  of  lubricant  and  excluding  all  dirt  or  grit. 

G — Is  supply  of  grease  filling  hollow  of  ami.  By  removing  cap  I,  insert 
key  through  "J"  in  the  nut  into  socket  in  piston  "P"  and  turning 
forward  the  grease  is  expelled  through  "/i"  and  along  groove  in  top 
of  arm  to  the  bearing.  To  use  oil  remove  the  piston  "P"  entirely, 
clean  out  all  grease  from  the  chamber  and  holes  in  top  and  bottom, 
put  on  the  wheel  screw  in  the  nut  and  with  ordinary  oiler  inject  the 
oil  through  "j"  in  nut  whence  it  will  run  to  the  bearing.  In  using 
oil  the  leather  washers  "/  and  g"  should  be  thick  enough  to  prevent 
end  play  but  not  bind.  In  using  grease  the  washer  or  packing  shown 
in  the  sand  collar  may  be  omitted  or  not,  and  washers  "/  and  g" 
should  be  free  enough  to  allow  a  little  end  play. 

These  axles  are  made  right  and  left  the  same  as  others.  The  wheels  are 
not,  but  the  caps  on  front  end  of  hubs  are  all  threaded  right  hand.  Other- 
wise all  corresponding  parts  in  each  size  are  made  interchangeable. 

We  prefer  and  advise  but  little  dish  in  our  wheels.  Our  spokes  are 
driven  quite  firm  and  will  not  draw  much  in  tiring,  so  do  not  ' '  draught " 
the  rim  too  much.  Set  the  axle  with  very  little  if  any  front  gather,  as  the 
arm  is  straight.  Set  the  bottom  of  arms  so  as  to  give  "  plumb  spoke"  as  in 
other  wheels.  Do  not  heat  the  axles  near  the  collars — give  the  set  in  the 
center.  When  ready  to  grease  screw  out  the  piston  P,  carefully  clean  the 
same  and  the  grease  chamber  to  get  all  sand  and  grit  out  of  the  threads  : 
also  the  collar,  the  hub  and  all  parts.  Now  fill  the  chamber  fiill  of  grease, 
screw  in  the  piston  1  inch  to  IJ  inch  from  the  end,  far  enough  to  let  the  axle 
nut  be  screwed  well  home.  Put  on  wheel,  screw  in  the  nut  securely,  insert 
the  key  through  y  and  turn /onward  three  or  four  revolutions,  spinning  the 
wheel  at  same  time. 

It  is  important  to  see  that  the  foregoing  instructions  are  complied 
with.  Watch  the  running  carefully  the  first  few  days  or  week,  then  turn 
out  a  little  fresh  grease  upon  the  arm,  after  which  every  two  to  four  weeks 
will  be  often  enough  to  turn  out  more.  Too  much  will  show  at  the  collar. 
A  little  care  and  experience  will  be  your  best  guides  in  this. 

Getting  started  off  all  right  will  be  a  great  saving  in  the  future  and 
afford  much  satisfaction  in  all  respects.

American  Axle  and  Wheel  Company's 
Patent  Axle  and  Wheel. 


NEW   STYLE. 


OLD    STYLE. 


The  cuts  above  accurately  represent  this  axle  in  contrast  with  one 
of  the  ordinary  style  and  of  the  same  size  of  bed. 

The  relative  size  and  strength  is  clearly  and  fairly  shown.  This  axle 
hed  is  in  all  cases  the  same  size  and  shape  as  in  the  common  axle,  but  there 
all  similarity  ceases. 

In  the  common  style  the  arm,  at  the  collar,  where  it  usually  breaks, 
contains  only  three-fourths  of  the  metal  (76  per  cent.)  which  is  in  the  square 
of  the  bed,  and  at  this  point  it  is  relatively  weaker  because  of  being  cut 
down  at  a  right  angle,  from  which  form,  the  pounding  of  the  wheel  causes 
the  metal  to  crystallize  and  break,  while  this  axle,  beginning  some  distance 
back  from  the  arm  or  bearing,  enlarges  to  a  neck  with  a  diameter  equal  to 
the  cornerwise  thickness  of  the  bed,  and  this  neck  always  and  necessarily 
contains  double  the  metal,  and  consequently  more  than  double  the  strength 
of  the  common  axle-arm,  and  being  made  without  a  square  cut  shoulder 
it  will  never  crystallize  or  .break.

New  Haven  Wheel  Company. 


TO   OUR  PATRONS: 

We  take  pleasure  in  presenting  the  trade  with  our  1889  Price  List 
herewith  and  trust  it  will  be  found  entirely  satisfactory. 

No  changes  to  speak  of  have  been  made  in  the  prices  of  goods  here- 
tofore quoted.  A  few  more  sizes  of  wheels  have  been  added  this  year, 
also  a  new  axle  and  wheel  which  are  mentioned  more  particularly  below. 
We  never  felt  better  prepared  to  serve  our  customers  in  every  department 
of  our  business  than  at  present. 

It  will  be  our  constant  and  utmost  endeavor  in  the  future,  as  in  the 
past,  to  give  our  customers  perfect  satisfaction :  and  the  added  improve- 
ments which  the  experience  of  nearly  forty-five  years  in  the  business  has 
suggested,  give  us  faith  to  believe  that  our  success  in  so  doing  is  beyond 
experiment. 

We  have  now  on  hand  a  very  large  stock  of  seasoned  second  growth 
Hickory  and  White  Oak,  and  with  the  best  modern  machinery  and  long 
experience  in  the  business  feel  that  we  are  enabled  to  furnish  the  best 
icheels  made  for  the  prices  charged.  We  challenge  a  comparison,  at  equal 
cost,  with  any  and  all  other  makes  of  wheels,  for  style,  durability  and 
strength. 

We  desire  to  call  pai'ticular  attention  to  our  light  wheels.  They  are 
all  made  of  pure  second  growth  Hickory  spokes  and  rims  and  Elm  hubs, 
carefully  seasoned  and  put  together,  nicely  finished  and  the  prices  for 
them  will  be  found  very  reasonable. 

It  seems  hardly  necessary  for  us  to  especially  notice  our  unpatented 
styles  of  Wheels,  which  include  English,  and  Common  styles,  they  being 
so  thoroughly  well  known  already.  A  steadily  increasing  trade  from  1845 
down  to  the  present  time  attests  the  care  we  take  with  them,  and  their 
consequent  value.  It  is  our  intention,  and  will  be  our  constant  endeavor 
in  the  future,  to  excel  in  these  lines  of  work.  We  make  but  two  qualities 
("Extra"  and  "No.  1")  of  Wheels  having  Sharp  Edged  (English  Style) 
Spokes.  Of  the  usual  styles  Wood  Hub  Wheels,  we  make  four  qualities, 
viz :  Extra,  No.  1,  No.  2,  and  No.  3. 

We  have  very  desirable  Spoke  Patterns,  etc.,  for  light  wheels  for  road 
wagons  and  other  light  driving  vehicles.  We  ask  a  special  trial  for  these, 
believing  them  to  be  the  most  stylish  and  durable  wheels  of  the  kind  made. 


NEW  HAVEN  WHEEL  COMPANY. 


We  make  four  grades  of  the  light  sizes  of  the  genuine  "Sarven" 
Wheel,  designated  A,  B,  C  and  D  respectively. 

We  shall  continue  to  pay  special  attention  to  the  first  class  (A)  Sarven 
Wheel,  which  has  been  adjudged  by  the  public,  after  more  than  thirty 
years'  use,  the  BEST  patent  wheel  made.  The  lower  grades  are  made 
in  order  to  supply  the  constant  demand  for  good  durable  wheels  at  mod- 
erate prices.     As  such  we  confidently  recommend  them. 

We  also  make  four  qualities  of  the  Warner  Patent  Wheel,  designated 
XXXX,  XXX,  XX  and  X  respectively.  This  wheel  has  now  been  before 
the  trade  for  some  twenty  years,  and  has  been  accepted  and  approved  on 
its  merits.  It  is  a  favorite  wheel,  very  reliable,  and  its  use  is  quite  widely 
extended. 

Of  the  Kenney  Patent  Banded  Hub  Wheels  we  also  make. four  qualities 
of  the  light  sizes,  designated  XXXX,  XXX,  XX  and  X  respectively.  This 
excellent  wheel  has  been  thoroughly  tried,  is  very  popular  and  continues 
to  grow  in  public  favor. 

During  the  past  four  years  we  have  manufactured  the  wheels  sold  by 
the  American  Axle  and  Wheel  Company  of  New  York,  and  through  tliis 
experience  have  carefully  observed  the  growth  and  character  of  their  trade. 
The  great  merit  both  in  their  axle  and  wheel,  as  well  as  their  superior 
lubricating  device,  have  led  us  to  arrange  with  that  company  to  offer  their 
goods  to  our  trade,  which  we  do  in  this  issue.  They  make  but  one  grade 
of  these  goods,  and  that  strictly  the  best. 

For  the  purpose  of  meeting  a  demand  both  at  home  and  abroad,  and 
especially  in  those  places  where  properly  skilled  labor,  pertaining  to  this 
branch  of  business,  is  not  readily  attainable,  we  some  years  ago  added  to 
our  wheel  business  the  tiring,  boxing  and  banding  of  wheels;  also  the 
furnishing  of  axles.  Our  customers  are  thereby  enabled  to  procure  their 
wheels  simply  finished  in  the  wood,  or  to  procure  them  tired,  or  tired, 
banded  and  boxed,  and  with  any  usual  style  or  make  of  axles  they  desire. 
This  department  is  gieatly  appreciated  by  many  of  our  customers,  who  use 
it  frequently  and  find  it  of  great  convenience  and  advantage. 

We  ask  a  fair  trial  for  all  our  work.  Thanking  our  many  friends  and 
customers  for  generous  favors  in  the  past  and  trusting  to  receive  and 
merit  such  in  the  future,  we  remain,  with  great  respect.

JB — Is  the  square  bed  of  axle,  conforming  in  shape  and  size  to  the  common 
axle. 

^— Is  the  neck,  its  diameter  equal  to  the  cornerwise  thickness  of  the  bed. 

O— Is  the  arm  or  bearing ;  its  diameter  being  considerably  greater  than  the  neck. 

C—ls  collar  or  sand  band,  of  malleable  iron,  forced  upon  the  neck.  Enter- 
ing between  back  end  of  hub  and  box,  as  shown,  it  helps  to  form  the 
annular  recesses  "31  and  iV"  to  fill  with  spent  grease  and  exclude 
sand,  grit,  etc. 

I>— Is  axle  box  of  best  quality  gray  iron.  It  is  without  taper  inside  and 
outside  and  is  forced  into  the  malleable  iron  hub.  This  box  has  a 
flange  "e"  cast  solid  inside  near  its  front  end  and  the  leather  washers 
"/  andgf"  on  either  side  cushion  the  end  of  the  axle  arm  and  the 
flange   "d"  of  the  nut  in  either  direction. 

H—Is  axle  nut  of  malleable  iron,  hollow  as  shown,  and  screwed  into  the 
hollow  end  of  axle  arm. 

J— -Is  malleable  iron  cap  screwing  on  end  of  box,  preventing  loss  of  axle 
nut  or  escape  of  lubricant  and  excluding  all  dirt  or  grit. 

6r— Is  supply  of  grease  filling  hollow  of  arm.  By  removing  cap  I,  insert 
key  through  "j"  in  the  nut  into  socket  in  piston  "P"  and  turning 
forward  the  grease  is  expelled  through  "/i"  and  along  gi-oove  in  top 
of  arm  to  the  bearing.  To  use  oil  remove  the  piston  "P"  entirely, 
clean  out  all  grease  from  the  chamber  and  holes  in  top  and  bottom, 
put  on  the  wheel  screw  in  the  nut  and  with  ordinary  oiler  inject  the 
oil  through  "j"  in  nut  whence  it  will  run  to  the  bearing.  In  using 
oil  the  leather  washers  "/  and  g"  should  be  thick  enough  to  prevent 
end  play  but  not  bind.  In  using  grease  the  washer  or  packing  shown 
in  the  sand  collar  may  be  omitted  or  not,  and  washers  "/  and  g" 
should  be  free  enough  to  allow  a  little  end  play. 

These  axles  are  made  right  and  left  the  same  as  others.  The  wheels  are 
not,  but  the  caps  on  front  end  of  hubs  are  all  threaded  right  hand.  Other- 
wise all  corresponding  parts  in  each  size  are  made  interchangeable. 

We  prefer  and  advise  but  little  dish  in  our  wheels.  Our  spokes  are 
driven  quite  firm  and  will  not  draw  much  in  tiring,  so  do  not  "draught" 
the  rim  too  much.  Set  the  axle  with  very  little  if  any  front  gather,  as  the 
arm  is  straight.  Set  the  bottom  of  arms  so  as  to  give  "  plumb  spoke"  as  in 
other  wheels.  Do  not  heat  the  axles  near  the  collars— give  the  set  in  the 
center.  When  ready  to  grease  screw  out  the  piston  P,  carefully  clean  the 
same  and  the  grease  chamber  to  get  all  sand  and  grit  out  of  the  threads  ; 
also  the  collar,  the  hub  and  all  parts.  Now  fill  the  chamber  full  of  grease, 
screw  in  the  piston  1  inch  to  IJ  inch  from  the  end,  far  enough  to  let  the  axle 
nut  be  screwed  well  home.  Put  on  wheel,  screw  in  the  nut  securely,  insert 
the  key  through  y  and  turn  forward  three  or  four  revolutions,  spinning  the 
wheel  at  same  time. 

It  is  important  to  see  that  the  foregoing  instructions  are  complied 
with.  Watch  the  running  carefully  the  first  few  days  or  week,  then  turn 
out  a  little  fresh  grease  upon  the  arm,  after  which  every  two  to  four  weeks 
will  be  often  enough  to  turn  out  more.  Too  much  will  show  at  the  collar. 
A  little  care  and  experience  will  be  your  best  guides  in  this. 

Getting  started  off  all  right  will  be  a  great  saving  in  the  future  and 
afford  much  satisfaction  in  all  respects.

OLD    STYLE. 


The  cuts  above  accurately  represent  this  axle  in  contrast  with  one 
of  the  ordinary  style  and  of  the  same  size  of  bed. 

The  relative  size  and  strength  is  clearly  and  fairly  shown.  This  axle 
bed  is  in  all  cases  the  same  size  and  shape  as  in  the  common  axle,  but  there 
all  similarity  ceases. 

In  the  common  style  the  arm,  at  the  collar,  where  it  usually  breaks, 
contams  only  three-fourths  of  the  metal  (76  per  cent.)  which  is  in  the  square 
of  the  bed,  and  at  this  point  it  is  relatively  weaker  because  of  being  cut 
down  at  a  right  angle,  from  which  form,  the  pounding  of  the  wheel  causes 
the  metal  to  crystallize  and  break,  while  this  axle,  beginning  some  distance 
back  from  the  arm  or  bearing,  enlarges  to  a  neck  with  a  diameter  equal  to 
the  cornerwise  thickness  of  the  bed,  and  this  neck  always  and  necessarily 
contains  double  the  metal,  and  consequently  more  than  double  the  strength 
of  the  common  axle-arm,  and  being  made  without  a  square  cut  shoulder 
it  will  never  crystallize  or  break.
